One positive integer is 5 less than another. the product of the two integers is 36. what are the integers?

1st number = x

2nd number = x-5

x*(x-5) = 36

x^2-5x =36

x^2 -5x-36 = 0

factor the polynomial:

(x-9) (x+4)

9-9 = 0, -4 +4 = 0

 so x = 9 or -4

 the question states a positive number

 so x = 9

 the 2 numbers are 9 and 4

yes

step-by-step explanation:

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
