Question

One number is 9 times another. Their product is 27 times their sum. Find the numbers.

the answer is not 3 btw

Answer 1

270 & 30

Explanation:

let the number is n,

the equation :

n× 1/9 n= 27(n +1/9 n)

1/9 n² = 27n + 3n

1/9 n² = 30n

1/9n²- 30n = 0

n(1/9n -30)= 0

n = 0 or

1/9n = 30 => n = 30×9 = 270

270 is a number,

the other : 270/9 = 30
