What two positive numbers when multiplied together also equal the sum of the same two numbers?
\n" ); document.write( "what I have tried so far:
\n" ); document.write( "xy=a
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=a
\n" ); document.write( "xy=x+y
\n" ); document.write( "x(y-1)=y
\n" ); document.write( "x=y/y-1
\n" ); document.write( "I know the answer is 2 but how do I show that?
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "xy = x+y
\n" ); document.write( "xy - y = x
\n" ); document.write( "y*(x-1) = x
\n" ); document.write( "y = x/(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Same as what you did.
\n" ); document.write( "There are an infinite number of solutions.
\n" ); document.write( "Pick any x and find y.
\n" ); document.write( "eg, 2
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3 --> y = 3/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4 --> y = 4/3
\n" ); document.write( "etc\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
