\n" ); document.write( "You are calling the second number 27-x, because the sum of x and (27-x) is 27 -- as the problem requires.

\n" ); document.write( "So the two numbers are x and (27-x), and their product is 182:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2827-x%29+=+182\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"27x-x%5E2+=+182\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-27x%2B182%29+=+0\"

\n" ); document.write( "To solve this using algebra, you need to factor the quadratic expression by finding two numbers whose sum is 27 and whose product is 182.

\n" ); document.write( "But that's exactly what the original problem asked you to do. So the formal algebra doesn't help to solve the problem.

\n" ); document.write( "To find the answer, find the prime factorization of the product 182 and use it to find a way to write 182 as the product of two numbers whose sum is 27.

\n" ); document.write( "182 = 2*91 = 2*7*13

\n" ); document.write( "It should be easy to see that you want to combine the first two factors to get

\n" ); document.write( "182 = 14*13

\n" ); document.write( "14+13 = 27, so 14 and 13 are the numbers you are looking for.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 14 and 13
