Question

What two numbers will you add together that will give 32 and when you multiply it will give 48

Answer 1

the two numbers are 30 and 2

Explanation:

form two equations ie. a+b=32

a*b=48

express b in terms of a ie. b=32-a

substitute that equation to the equation a*b=48

to form a*(32-a)=48

open the brackets to get 32a-a^2 =48

using the quadratic formula

round off your answer to get 30 and 2
