Question

if the sum of two numbers is 42 and their product is 437, then absolute difference between the numbers is

Answer 1

4 is the absolute difference between the two numbers

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

let the Two numbers are A and B

sum of two numbers i.e.,

    => A+B = 42   ----------------------------------- (1)

product of Two numbersis

    =>A x B = 437  

=>A = 437/B.

Substitute A value in equation (1)

=>437/B + B = 42

=>437/B = 42-B

=>437 = (42 - B)B

=>437 = 42B - B²

=>B²- 42B + 437 = 0

by solving the equation,

   we get,

=>B =   19

substitute B value in equation (1)

=>A + B = 42

=>A + 19 = 42

=>A = 42-19

=>A = 23

THE ABSOLUTE DIFFERENCE OF TWO NUMBERS IS

=>A - B = 23 - 19

=>A - B = 4

Therefore A-B=4

This above is the correct answer with the correct explanation
