Two positive integers are 3 units apart on a number line. Their product is 108.


Solve for m, the greater integer, using which of the equation below?


m(m – 3) = 108

Am(m + 3) = 108
B(m + 3)(m – 3) = 108
C(m – 12)(m – 9) = 108

The first integer as given in the question = m
Then
The second integer as described in the question = m + 3
Then the equation will be
m(m + 3) = 108
The correct option is option "A".
Now let us solve for "m"
m^2 + 3m - 108 = 0
m^2 + 12m - 9m - 108 = 0
m(m + 12) - 9(m + 12) = 0
(m + 12)(m - 9) =0
So the value of "m" is -12 and 9.
