Question 1060152: one number is two more than three times another. the product of the two numbers is 90. what is the value of the larger number ?

Let n be the smaller number. Then the larger number is 3n+2. So:
n(3n+2)=90
3nē+2n-90=0
Using the quadratic formula, we get a positive value for n of 5.154, making 3n+2 equal to 17.462. ☺☺☺☺
