Question

Can you help me solve this please? : One number is 5 more than another number. Find these numbers if their product is -3.

Answer 1

let x be the larger number, the smaller number is x - 5, since their product is -3
take the two numbers and multiply each other to get -3. can you write this down?

Answer 2

let the number be x
hence
x * (x+5) = -3
x^2 +5x + 3 = 0
you can solve further

Answer 3
