Daaaaaaaaaammmmm that’s hard
Since a product in maths means the result after multiplying numbers, you need to multiply 2 prime numbers and get 4.
If we look at the prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc, we see that the only number we can multiply to get 4 is 2, or, in other words, the only multiplication of prime numbers we can do to get four is 2*2=4.
This is solved by setting up two equations and then using one to answer the other.
The first step (use what is given to set up the two separate equations)
We are looking for two numbers, let us call them X and Y.
We are told that X + Y = 59
We are also told that (9 more than) 9+ (4times the smaller number) 4Y is the bigger number X
Then we combine that into 9+4Y=X
so we now have two separate equations and we can use one to solve the other. Everywhere we have X in the first equation, we will fill in with the second equation
(9+4Y) +Y = 59 [then combine like terms]
9+5Y=59 [subtract 9 from both sides]
5Y=50 [divide both sides by 5 to isolate the Y]
Y=10 [now plug this into either equation to solve for X]
9+4(10)=X
9+40=X
<u><em>49=X and 10=Y</em></u>
70 is the answer have a nice day
