The integers would be x and y. Therefore, we can suggest this system of equations: x+y=2 xy=-24 We can solve this system of equations by substitution method. x+y=2; ⇒y=(2-x) then:
x(2-x)=-24 2x-x²=-24 x²-2x-24=0
x=[2⁺₋√(4+96)]/2=(2⁺₋10)/2 we would have two possible solutions: x₁=(2-10)/2=-4 ⇒y₁=(2-x)=2+4=6 x₂=(2+10)/2=6 ⇒y₂=(2-x)=2-6=-4
