Question

The product of two natural number is 660 and their difference is 8. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Assume the numbers are x, and y.

x+y=40. This would mean that x=40-y. The second condition is that x-y=10. Rewrite that to include what x is now known to be equal to, and you get 40–2y=10

40 -40 -2y=10 -40

-2y=-30

y=15

Now replace y in the first equation, and that becomes x+15=40.

x+15 -15 =40 -15

x=25

…and 25–15=10

The two numbers are 25 and 15.

Answer 2

Answer:

$x + y = 660 \\ x - y = 8 \\ add \: both \: equations \: we \: will \: get \: \\ 2x = 668 \: x = 334 \\ y = 342$
