Let be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:
(the difference between the two numbers is 2)
(their product is 224)
From the first equation, we can deduce
If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have
If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions
So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:
Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 2 and d = 3 - 2 = 1, thus
= 2 + (43 × 1) = 2 + 43 = 45
