Question

Two numbers that differ by 46

Answer 1

Choose any two numbers that when you subtract one from the other, you get 46

For example:
56 and 102, between them there's a difference of 46 units

Another example:
89 and 135

Answer 2

the complete question is

Find two numbers whose difference is 46 and whose product is a minimum

Let

x------->larger number

y-------> smaller number

P-------> product of the two numbers

we know that

`x-y=46\\ y=x-46`-----> equation 1

`P=x*y`-----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2

`P=x*[x-46]\\ P=x^(2) -46x`

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

Find the value of x for that the product P is a minimum

the vertex is the point
`(23,-529)`

that means, for
`x=23`

the product is a minimum
`P=-529`

find the value of y

`y=x-46\\ y=23-46\\ y=-23`

therefore

the answer is

the numbers are
`23` and
`-23`
