Question

What is the greater of the two numbers whose product is 640, if the sum of the two numbers exceeds their difference by 32?

Answer 1

Let the first no. be=x

Let the second no. be=y

XY=640

X+Y=(X-Y)+32

X-X+Y+Y=+32

2Y=+32

Y=32/2

Y=16 ANS.

Answer 2

Answer:

The two numbers are 40 and 16

Explanation:

Let the number be x and y

Here x > y

According to the question,

=> (x + y) - (x - y) = 32

=> x + y - x + y = 32

=> 2y = 32

=> y = 16 ans.

Now,

Their product is 640

So,

=> xy = 640

=> 16x = 640

=> x = 640/16

=> x = 40 ans.
