Question 1014084
Word Problem: The sum of two integers is 37 and their product is 342. What are the numbers?

I'm not sure if this is correct but I tried answering it. Here's what I got:

Let: x = be the number
     37 - x = be the other number

x(37-x) = 342
37x-x^2 = 342
      0 = x^2 - 37x + 342

At this point, I don't know what to do anymore. Please help me.
<pre>{{{x^2 - 37x + 342 = 0}}}
You can use the quadratic equation to solve, but if you know how to find factors of a trinomial,
you'll see that the 2 factors that multiply to  + 342 (ac), and sum to - 37 (b), are: - 19, and - 18
The quadratic now becomes: (x - 19)(x - 18) = 0, and the {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,5,Numbers, "are:", x = 19, and, x = 18))}}}
