Question 889699: The difference between 2 natural number is 10 and their product is 119. What are the two numbers ?

x - y = 10
x * y = 119
Natural numbers are counting numbers - they're whole
The easiest way to solve this is to look at the factors of 119:
119, 1
17, 7
Which of those sets fits the equation x - y = 10?
Only 17 and 7 complete the equation correctly. Those are your two numbers.
