Answer:

35 and 20

Explanation:

Hi, the first thing that i'd do is to list the factors of 700

1 * 700

2 * 350

4 * 175

5 * 140

7 * 100

10 * 70

14 * 50

20 * 35

28 * 25

Okay, now, find the two numbers who's difference is 15. When you look through them you find that 35 and 20 is the correct answer.

35 * 20 = 700

35-20 = 15

Hope this helped :)
