difference of 19 so when you subtract = 19 product of -48 question is what are the factors of 48 such that when you subtract the difference is 19?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So i just subtract

OpenStudy (triciaal):

let the numbers be a and b then ab = -48 and a- b = 19

Not Getting It

OpenStudy (triciaal):

when you subtract b from a the difference is 19 when you multiply a times b = -48 a is a positive number and b is 19 less than a what are the factors of 48?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So Is It B

OpenStudy (triciaal):

The factor with a greater absolute value is positive. so the greater is +16 the difference is 19 16 - -3 = 19 sum = 16 + -3 = 13

OpenStudy (triciaal):

sum is + 13
