The sum is of n and 14 can be written as:
n+14=72
Answer: the diameter of circle b is also less than circle a ?
Let x = first number and y = second number.
The first statement is expressed as
x*y = 713
The second statement is expressed as
x = y + 9
To find x, use the second equation in terms of y, that is y = x - 9. Then substituting it to the first equation yields
x*(x - 9) = 713
(2x+2)(3x+1)
2x*3x+2x*1+2*3x+2*1
6x^2+2x+6x+2
6x^2+8x+2
