Question

2 numbers have a product of 50 and also have a sum of 14 what are the two numbers x •x and x+x

Answer 1

32 and 18

Explanation:

This is a question of simultaneous equation.

Let's say the two numbers are x and y.

ATQ,

x+y =50 ——I

x-y=14——II

On adding I and II,

We get 2x=64

Implying x=32

Putting the value of x in equation I,

32+y=50

y=50–32

=18.

The answer is 32 and 18
