Find the product of two numbers whose sum is 11 and diffrence is 3

Answer:

The numbers are 4 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, we can set up two equations.

x + y = 11 and x - y = 3

We now need to solve for one of these variables in terms of the other. I am choosing to solve for x, but either way will work. I'm using the second equation and solving for x by adding y to each side, which gives me

x = 3 + y

Now that I have a value for x, I can plug this into my first equation

3 + y + y = 11

Combining like terms gives me

3 + 2y = 11

Subtracting 3 from both sides leaves

2y = 8

And dividing by 2 to solve for y gets

y = 4

We now know one number, and to solve for the other we can plug our y value into either equation

x + 4 = 11

Subtracting 4 from both sides yields the x value

x = 7

So the two numbers are 4 and 7
