Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to write 243 as a power of some number.
So, if we factorize 243 we get,
243 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
Therefore, we can write 243 as a power of 3.
No other number can be written in powers of 243 because it do not contain any other factor than 3.
Hence, 243 can be written as :
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
