Question

Find two positive numbers whose difference is 9 and whose product is 2950.

Answer 1

Answer: 50 and 59

I divided 2950 by 25 because I knew it would somehow factor into that since it ends in 50. Then, I got 25 and 118. From there, I just divided 118 by 2 since I knew that it would end in a 9 and I multiplied 25 by 2. Not sure if this is really helpful, but you also try using a GCF calculator and look up all the factors of that number next time!
