The LCM of two numbers is 60. Their GCf is 6 and their difference is 18. What are the two numbers?

Aliun [14]

$LCM(x,y)=60\\
GCF(x,y)=6\\
x-y=18\\\\
LCM(x,y)=\dfrac{|x\cdot y|}{GCD(x,y)}\\
60=\dfrac{|x\cdot y|}{6}\\
|x\cdot y|=360\\\\\\
|x\cdot y|=360\\
x-y=18\\\\
|x\cdot y|=360\\
x=18+y\\\\
|(18+y)\cdot y|=360\\
|18y+y^2|=360\\
18y+y^2=360 \vee 18y+y^2=-360\\
y^2+18y+81=441 \vee y^2+18y+81=-279\\
(y+9)^2=441 \vee (y+9)^2=-279\\
y+9=\sqrt{441} \vee y+9=-\sqrt{441}\\
y=21-9 \vee y=-21-9\\
y=12 \vee y=-30\\\\
x-12=18 \vee x-(-30)=18\\
x=30 \vee x=-12\\\\
\boxed{x=30, y=12 \vee x=-12, y=-30}$
