Question

the product of two numbers is 72 if their sum is 27 find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

3 and 24 PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST!

Step-by-step explanation:

Product of two numbers : a * b = 72

Sum of two numbers : a + b = 27

Sub (a = 27 - b) in product

//Factorize

b * (27 - b) = 72 ;

27 b - b² = 72;

b² - 27 b + 72= 0;

(b-24)(b-3) = 0;

b=24,3

Sub b in sum,

If b = 24, a= 27–24 ; a= 3

If b = 3 , a = 27–3 , a = 24
