If they're integers, that means they can't be fractions (such as 15/2 and 2).

So the only couples of integers that, when multiplied, result in 15 are:

1 and 15
5 and 3.

(there are no other possibilities as both 5 and 3 are not divisible further).
The smaller of the two sums (15+1; 5+3) is 5+3=8.

The least possible sum of a and b is 8.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]
34 less than (-34) the product of (multiply) 14 (14) and an unknown (x) is (=) 78 (78)

-34+14 times x=78
14 times x=14x
14x-34=78
add 34 to both sides
14x=112
divide both sdies by 14
x=8
the number is 8
