Write a pair of integers whose product is -15 and whose difference is 8

Solution:

There can be one or more than one set of integers whose product is -15 and whose difference is 8. Let us consider the following cases. Few pairs of integers whose product is -15 are:

-1 × 15

-3 × 5

 3 × (-5)

 15 × (-1)

The given condition says we need to figure out a pair of integers whose product is -15 and whose difference is 8. From the above listed options the difference of -3 and 5 or -5 and 3 is 8. So the required pair of integers is -3, 5 and -5, 3.

✦ Try This: Write a pair of integers whose product is -16 and whose difference is -10.

The two integers which satisfy the given conditions are -8 and 2. The product of -8 and 2 is -16 and the difference of -8 and 2 is -10.
