    quadratic equations and problem solving?

    Let the two integers be x and y, where y is the bigger integer.

    y is bigger than x be 6, so that you need to add 6 to x for them to be equal.

    y = 6 + x

    Their product is xy = 55

    Can you solve the pair of simultaneous equations now?
