Problema Solution
positive numbers have a difference of 8 and a product of 33. What are these numbers
Answer provided by our tutors
Let x and y represent the numbers, x>0, y>0, y>x
y - x = 8 follows y = 8 + x
x*y = 33
plug y = 8 + x into x*y = 33
x(8 + x) = 33
........
........
x = 3
y = 8 + 3
y = 11
The two numbers are 3 and 11.
