Hi,
One number is 3 greater than another number .
The product of the numbers is 154.
x(x+3) = 154
x^2 + 3x = 154
x^2 + 3x - 154 = 0
(x + 14)(x-11) = 0
(x + 14)=0, x = -14 (the other -11)
0r (x-11) = 0, x = 11 (the other 14)
Two sets of number satisfy: -14, -11 and 11,14
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
