Hello,
Let's be a the greatest number, b the smallest
Method 1:
a+b=37 ==>b=37-a
a*b=36==>a(37-a)=36
==> a²-37a+36=0
==>a²-36a-a+36=0
==>a(a-36)-(a-36)=0
==>(a-36)(a-1)=0
(a=36 and b=37-36=1) or (a=1 and b=37-1=36) but a>b ==>exclude
==>a-b=35
Method 2:
a*b=36
a+b=37 ==>(a+b)²=37²
(a+b)²-4ab=37²-4*36
==>a²+2ab+b²-4ab=1225
==>(a-b)²=35²
==>a-b=35 or a-b=-35 (to exclude since a>b)
Answer: 5m + 20 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Miles driven on first day = m
On the second day, they drive five more miles than they did on the first day. This will be: = m + 5
On the third day, they drove three times as many miles as they did on the second day. This will be:
= 3(m + 5)
= 3m + 15
Total miles driven will now be:
= m + m+5 + 3m + 15
= 5m + 20
