Answer:
The sum of the two numbers is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the counting numbers be x and y.
Then we can write the following equations
x=4y.......1 (one is four times greater )
x(y)=36.....2 (the product of the two)
Putting equation 1 into equation 2, we get
4y(y)=36
Dividing through by 4,we get
Taking square root of both side, we obtain
y=3
Putting the value of y into equation , we get
x=4(3)=12
Hence the numbers are 3 and 12
Therefore the sum of the two numbers is 3+12=15
Answer:
x = 2, -3
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-2) = 0 or (x+3) = 0
x = 2 or x = -3
Thus, two values of x are x = 2, -3
