two numbers
a & b
:
is a product that is 35 more than their sum. what are these numbers
ab = a + b + 35
ab - b = a + 35
factor out b
b(a - 1) = a + 35
b = %28%28a%2B35%29%29%2F%28%28a-1%29%29
There a lot of integers that will satisfy this, here are a few
a | b
-------
7 | 7
10 | 5
13 | 4
19 | 3
37 | 2
