Question

find positive numbers whose sum is 23 and product is 120​

Answer 1

Answer:

15 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the positive numbers be x and you

given:- x+y = 23 --equation 1

and x×y= 120 --equation 2

put y= 120/x in equation 1

We get a quadratic in x which is,

$x {}^{2} - 23x + 120 = 0$

On solving , we get x= 15 or 8

if we take x= 15 then we get y=8 and vice-versa
