Question

The product of two numbers is 5292.if one number is 3 times the other, find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

42 , 126 or -42,-126

Step-by-step explanation:

taking number one as $x$,

the second number is $3x$.

multiplying both, we get $3x^{2}$

thus,  

$3x^{2} = 5292$

$x^{2} = 1764$

$x = 42$

hence the two numbers are 42 and 126

They can also be -42 and -126
