Question 31184
Solution:

let x be the smaller number
    
let (5+x) be the larger number

the product of two numbers is 36


x(x+5) = 36

x^2 + 5x = 36

find the value of x using the quadratic equation

the answere will be x = 4 and x = -9

therefore the smaller number is 4 and the larger number is 9
