Question

find the two numbers whose difference is 13 and product is 48​

Answer 1

Answer:

the 2 numbers are 16 and 3

Answer 2

Answer:

Value of a= 16, b = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be a and b respectively

According to the given conditions:

a-b = 13 -------(i)

ab = 48 -------(ii)

Solving the two equations we get,

b( 13+b ) = 48 ( substituting value of a from equation i in ii)

So, b^2 + 13b -48 = 0

On solving the quadratic equation we get the value of b as: -16, +3 ( taking the positive number only)

So, the value of a= 16.
