Solution:​


Sagot :

16 and 9

16 - 9 = 7
16 x 9 = 144

Problem:

The difference of two numbers is 7. Their product is 144. Find the numbers.

Solution:​

let x and y be the numbers

x - y = 7 equation 1

x = 7 + y equation 1

xy = 144 equation 2

if x  = 7 + y

xy = 144

(7 + y)(y) = 144

7y + y² = 144

y² + 7 y - 144 = 0

(y - 9) (y + 16) = 0

y = 9 ;  y = - 16

use the positive value of y = 9 to substitute for equation 1

x = 7 + y

x = 7 + 9

x = 16

xy = 144

y = 144 / x

y = 144/16

y = 9

Checking:

x - y = 7

16 - 9 = 7

7 = 7 ; ok

xy = 144

16(9) = 144

144 = 144 ; ok

Answer:

x = 16

y = 9
