17-2V=41
subtract 17 from both sides
-2v =24
v = 24 / -2 = -12
v=-12
The given identity tells you ...
.. (sum of numbers) * (sum of squares - product) = (sum of cubes)
Substituting the given information, you have
.. (sum of numbers) * (29 -10) = 133
Then you can divide by (29 -10) to get
.. sum of numbers = 133/19 = 7
The sum of the two numbers is 7.
-10.22, -7.89, -5.23, +34.98, +51.02, +51.22 because the closer a number is to 0 the smaller it is.
