Question

Write a pair of integers whose product is –12 and there lies seven integers between them (excluding the given integers).

Answer 1

For a pair of integers, whose product is –12 and there lies seven integers between them, Two solutions are possible, i.e. (–6 and 2) and (–2 and 6).

`\implies` –6 × 2 = –12, –2 × 6 = –12

1^st Pair: Let first integer = –6 and second integer = 2

⇒ (–6) × 2 = (–12) and 7 integers are lying between them.

2^nd Pair: Let first integer = –2 and second integer = 6

`\implies` (–2) × 6 = –12 and 7 integers are lying between them.
