Question

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

Answer 1

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
