Answer 1

The answer is 6 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

6+4=10 and 6×4= 24

Answer 2

4 & 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the equations:

x + y = 10

x * y = 24

Find the sum pairs of 10:

0 , 10

1 , 9

2 , 8

3 , 7

4 , 6

5 , 5

Find the product of each pair:

0 * 10 = 0

1 * 9 = 9

2 * 8 = 16

3 * 7 = 21

4 * 6 = 24

5 * 5 = 25

In this case, you are trying to find the product of 24, therefore 4 & 6 is your answer.
