Question

The sum of two numbers is 27 and their product is 182

Answer 1

the sum of two numbers is 27.

that means,one number is x and another number is 27-x.

their product is 182.

x(27-x)=182

27x-x2=182

x2-27x +182=0

x2-13x-14x+182=0

x(x-13) -14 (x-13)=0

(x-14)=0 (x-13)=0

therefore,x=14 or x=13
