Answer:
17,37
Step-by-step explanation:
one number = x
The positive number = 2x + 3
x * (2x+3) = 629
x*2x + x *3 = 629
2x² + 3x - 629 = 0
2x² - 34x + 37x - 17*37 =0
2x*(x -17) + 37(x - 17) = 0
(x - 17)(2x + 37) = 0
x - 17 = 0 ; Ignore 2x + 37 as s is a positive number
x = 17
Positive number = 2*17 +3 = 34+3 = 37
