let the two numbers be x and y

From the first sentence,

xy=24

x+y=10

Then make y in equation 2 the subject of the formular and substitute in equation 1

x+y=10

y=10-x

substituting in equation 2

x(10-x)=24

open the bracket

10x-x^2=24

=-x^2+10x=24

Transfer the constant to the left hand side

=-x^2+10x-24=0

Then factorise completely

Estimate the sum of 299 and 388
Svetllana [295]

For this case we have the following numbers:

299

388

Let's round up each of the numbers to the nearest hundred,

We have then:

299 = 300

388 = 400

We note that now we have two numbers whose approximation is easier to add.

We have then:

300 + 400 = 700

Answer:

The sum of 299 + 388 is approximately:

700
