The sum of two positive integers is 27 and their product is 50. Find the numbers.

The numbers are 25 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Right, from your fact families, one factor is equal to the product divided by the other product. 4 x 8 = 32, so 32/8 = 4 and 32/4 = 8. In order for the left side to equal 0, either x - 25 or x - 2 has to equal 0. So, the two numbers are 25 and 2.
