Question

There are two factors of -36 such that one factor is 11 less than half of the other factor. Choose all the pairs of these factors.

-2 and 18
-6 and 6
3 and -12
4 and -9

Answer 1

yikes
lets try this one "-2 and 18"
half of 18 is 9, and \(9-11=-2\) so i guess we got it on the first try

Answer 2

is there more than one?

Answer 3

yeah i think the last one might work

Answer 4

half of 4 is 2, and \(2-11=-9\)
maybe there is another as well

Answer 5

half of 6 is 3, and \(3-11=-8\) so 6,-6 doesn't work

Answer 6

and half of three isn't even an integer so that one is not going to work either
