Answer:

the two integers are -11 and -13

Step-by-step explanation:

x = smaller integer

x+2 = larger integer

equation would be the product of them:

x(x+2) = 143

this simplifies to [tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 2x = 143

you can subtract 143 from each side to get this quadratic equation:

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 2x - 143  = 0

two numbers whose product is 143 and whose difference is 2 are -11 and -13
