You can put this solution on YOUR website! ind two positive numbers whose difference is 24
a - b = 24
a = (b+24)
:
and whose product is 217
a * b = 217
replace a with (b+24)
b(b+24) = 217
a quadratic equation
b^2 + 24b - 217 = 0
Factors to
(b+31)(b-7)
the positive solution is all we want here
b = 7
then
a - 7 = 24
a = 31
