Question

Product of two integers is $-48$. If one of the integers is $-6$ then the other is

• A. $+1$
• B. $+288$
• C. $0$
• D. $+8$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $+8$

Let the other integer be $x$. One of the integer is given that is $-6$.

Also, it is given that the product of the two integers is $-48$. Therefore, we have:

$x\times (-6)=-48\Rightarrow -6x=-48\Rightarrow 6x=48\Rightarrow x=\frac{48}{6}\Rightarrow x=8$

Hence, the other integer is $+8$.
