To round off to 10, the difference should range from 5 to 14. If the difference between two numbers is from 5 to 14, they all are rounded to 10.
Example:
(near to 10)
It is because there are 7 1/8 and it is bigger than 2 1/8.
Answer:
-1 and -2, or 9 and 10
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the smaller integer:
x (x + 1) = 14 + 4 (x + x + 1)
x² + x = 14 + 4 (2x + 1)
x² + x = 14 + 8x + 4
x² − 7x − 18 = 0
Factor using AC method:
(x − 9) (x + 2) = 0
x = -2 or 9
x is the smaller integer, so the larger integers are -1 and 10. Check each pair of solutions.
-1 and -2:
(-2) (-1) = 14 + 4 (-2 + -1)
2 = 14 + 4 (-3)
2 = 2
9 and 10:
(9) (10) = 14 + 4 (9 + 10)
90 = 14 + 4 (19)
90 = 90
Both solutions work.
