Question 393261
When one number is 2 more than twice another and their product is 2 more than twice their sum, what is the two number solution? 
-------------
Let one number be "x".
The other number is "2x+2"
---
Equation:
x(2x+2) = 2(x+2x+2) + 2
2x^2 + 2x = 2x+4x+4 + 2
----
2x^2 + 2x = 6x+6
2x^2-4x-6 = 0
Factor:
2x^2-6x+2x-6 = 0
2x(x-3)+2(x-3) = 0
(x-3)(2x+2) = 0
Positive solution:
x = 3
----------------
1st number: x = 3
2nd number: 2x+2 = 2*3+2 = 8
