Question

Write two numbers that multiply to the value on top and add to the value on bottom 12 + to 7 Submit Answer

Answer 1

We have to think this problem as if it were a quadratic function. In order to fin the numbers that multiplied give as result 12 and added give as result 7, we will solve:

`f(x)=x^2+7x+12`

So, we factor as follows:

`f(x)=(x+4)(x+3)`

Now, we have that the numbers that multiplied give as result 12 and added give as result 7, are 4 & 3.
