Answer:
the numbers who's difference is 16 and the product is 720 is
36 &20
Step-by-step explanation:
to finding numbers you have to express the equation in a quadratic equation then Factor it.
since the two numbers have a difference of 16 you can say that the first number is x and the second number is x -16 then their product is 720.
x(x-16)=720
x²-16x=720
x²-16x-720=0
(x-36)(x+20)
there are two possible value of x but since you are looking for the positive value of x, choose the positive value of x the first number is 20.
To find the second number
x-16=20
x=20+16
x=36
the second number is 36
Now to check
36-20=16
20*36=720
