(12, 6)
(23, 17)
(17, 11)
(18, 12)
Correct answer is C
x - y = 6.......(i)
xy = 187.......(ii)
From equation (i), x(6 + y)
sub. for x in equation (ii) = y(6 + y)
= 187
y2 + 6y = 187
y2 + 6y - 187 = 0
(y + 17)(y - 11) = 0
y = -17 or y = 11
y cannot be negative, y = 11
Sub. for y in equation(i) = x - 11
= 16
x = 6 + 11
= 17
∴(x, y) = (17, 11)
