Product is multiplication:
x * (x+2) = 201
x^2 +2x = 120
x^2 + 2x -120 = 0
(x+12) (x-10) = 0
x = -12 and x = 10
-12 x -1 = 12
the 2 numbers are 10 and 12

2.5y + 3x = 27
5x - 2.5y = 5
Align the variables to make solving this easier.
2.5y + 3x = 27
-2.5y + 5x = 5
You can see that the 2.5y and -2.5y cancel each other out. Then add the 3x and 5x, and 27 + 5.
3x = 27
5x = 5
8x = 32
Divide both sides by 8.
x = 4
Now input that x into one of the equations to get y.
2.5y + 3(4) = 27
2.5y + 12 = 27
2.5y = 15
y = 6
The answer to this system of equations is x = 4, y = 6. (4, 6)
