Question

The product of two integers is -6. If one of them is 2, then the other is 

(1) -3 

(2) 4 

(3) 8 

(4) -8

Answer 1

Correct option is (1) -3 

Given,

The product of two integers = - 6 and one of the integers = 2.

Let the other integer be x..

According to the question,

\(x\times 2= -6\)

\(x = \frac {-6}{2}\)

\(\therefore x = -3\)

Hence, the other integer is -3.
