Find two numbers whos diffrence is 16 and the product is 720

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

the numbers who's difference is 16 and the product is 720 is

36 &20

Explanation:

to finding numbers you have to express the equation in a quadratic equation then Factor it.

since the two numbers have a difference of 16 you can say that the first number is x and the second number is x -16 then their product is 720.

x(x-16)=720

x²-16x=720

x²-16x-720=0

(x-36)(x+20)

there are two possible value of x but since you are looking for the positive value of x, choose the positive value of x the first number is 20.

To find the second number

x-16=20

x=20+16

x=36

the second number is 36

Now to check

36-20=16

20*36=720

Bogdan [553]

Answer: After working for 33 $\frac{1}{3}$ hours a week

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us write equations to represent these two places. Let x be hours worked and y be money earned.

Tim Hortons:

$200 + $5x = y

McDonalds:

$300 + $2x = y

Now, to find the conditions of which Tim Hortons is the better employer (on the basis of money earned) we must find the interval that Tim Hortons pays more. This can be found by setting up another equation, or by graphing. I have shown both. See attached for the graph.

$200 + $5x > $300 + $2x

$5x > $100 + $2x

$3x > $100

x > $\frac{100}{3}$
