Question

The product of 2 positive numbers is 448 and the larger number exceeds the smaller number by 12. If the smaller number is p, calculate the value of p.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the positive numbers be p and p+12

where p is smaller number and p+12 is the larger number

given that p*(p+12) =448

p^2 + 12p -448=0

solve using quadratic formula or by factorization method

so , after solving the quadratic equation we get p=10
