Question

The product of two positive numbers is 2400. one of them is six times the other. find the number.​

Answer 1

x multiplied by 6x is 2400. 6x^2 = 2400. x^2=400, X=20

Answer 2

± 20

Explanation:

let one number be x then the other number is 6x and the product

x × 6x = 2400 , that is

6x² = 2400 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x² = 400 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± 20

Thus the number is 20 or - 20
