Question

Two numbers differ by 5. If their product is 336, then sum of two number is​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y=5-------(1)

xy=336------(2)

X= 5+y -----(3)

substitute 3 in 2

(5+y )y =336

y square +5y -336 = 0

y square + 21y -16 y - 366 =0

y ( y + 21) - 16 ( y + 21) =0

(y-16) ( y+21) = 0

therefore y = 16 and y= -21

since y cannot be negative

XY = 336

X= 336/ 16

x= 21

therefore X+Y = 37 ....

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is

x=21

y=16

x+y

=37
