the product of two whole numbers is 35. if ten is added to the first and four is added to the second, the new product is 153. what are the two numbers.
:
There aren't many integer factors of 35; Assume it's 7, 5
Check it in the statement:
"if ten is added to the first and four is added to the second, the new product is 153."
(7+10)*(5*4) = 153
:
Solution x=7, y = 5
