Question

Find the two numbers whose product is 150, difference is 5 and sum is 25.​

Answer 1

Answer:

To make it more concrete we would need to make equations which will make it very easy to find these numbers.

Let,

x∗y=150

x−y=5

x+y=25

Now, with little bit of algebra,

x=y+5

Substituting x to the equation x+y=25 yields

y+5+y=25

2y=20,y=10

x+10=25,x=15

Therefore 15 and 10 are the numbers that is product 150, difference 5 and sum 25.
