Algebra.Com's Answer #35460 by rajagopalan(174)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the sum of two numbers is 156 there product is 900 \n" ); document.write( "now factorise the product \n" ); document.write( "it composes of 2x2x3x3x5x5 as prime factors \n" ); document.write( "then decompose this into two groups to give a sum 156 \n" ); document.write( "for eg 2x3=6 and the balance 2x3x5x5=150 summing 6+150=156 \n" ); document.write( "now the answer is 150 and 6.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "algebraically also \n" ); document.write( "x*y=900 ..eqn 1 \n" ); document.write( "x+y=156...eqn 2 \n" ); document.write( "from eqn 1 x=900/y \n" ); document.write( "sub this in eqn 2 \n" ); document.write( "(900/y)+y=156 ..eqn3 \n" ); document.write( "expanding and solving the quadratic also you get 150 & 6 as solution.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
