Find two numbers whose sum is 27 and product is 182.

Q3: Find two numbers whose sum is 27 and product is 182.

Answer:

Let the first number  = x

Given that sum is 27

 Then  second number is = 27 –   x

Given that product is 182.

So that

      x(27 –   x) = 182

    27  x –    x² – 182 = 0

      x² – 27  x + 182 = 0

    now factorize it we get

Thus the two numbers are 13 and 14
