Answer:

1, 2, 3, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is,

$\Rightarrow ax = 6$

$\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{6}{a}$

We need to to find all the whole values of a for which the solution of the equation i.e x will be a whole number.

We know that when a number is divided by one of its factor it leaves a remainder of 0 or the result we get is a whole number.

That is why, we need a as one of the factors of 6, i.e 1, 2, 3, 6 in order to get x as a whole number.

The product of two positive integers plus their sum is 95. The integers are relatively prime, and each is less than 20. What is

creativ13 [48]

Let the fist integer be x, the second is x+20
the product of the numbers is:
x(x+20)
the sum of the numbers is:
x+x+20=2x+20
the sum of the above operations will give us:
2x+20+x^2+20x=95
x^2+22x+20=95
this can be written as quadratic to be:
x^2+22x-75=0
solving the above we get:
x=3 and x=-25
but since the integers should be positive, then x=3
the second number is x+20=3+20=23
hence the numbers are:
3 and 23
