Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x then the second number will be 27−x.
x(27-x)=182
⇒27x−x

=182
⇒x

−27x+182=0
⇒x
2
−13x−14x+182=0
⇒x(x−13)−14(x−13)=0
⇒(x−14)(x−13)=0
⇒x=14,13
If the first number is 14, then the second number is 13 and if the first number is 13, then the second number is 14.

Answer:
Let the first number be x
Thus the second number can be represented as 27 - x
Since the product of two numbers is 182.
Splitting -27 x as -13x -14x
The roots of this equation are the values of x for which (x-13)(x-14) = 0
which are,
x - 14 = 0 or x - 13 = 0
Thus , x = 13 or x = 14
If the first number is 14, the second number will be 27 - 14 = 13
If the first number is 13, the second number will be 27 - 13 = 14
Thus, the two numbers are 13 & 14.
