Question 1160886
<br>
You should know HOW to solve a problem like this using formal algebra....<br>
HOWEVER, note that in this problem (as shown by one of the solutions you have received), like in many simple problems, using formal algebra has you end up factoring a quadratic equation by finding two numbers whose difference is 2 and whose product is 575.  But that's exactly what the original problem asks you to do -- so formal algebra only adds extra work to finding the answer; it doesn't make solving the problem any easier.<br>
So do as tutor #MathTherapy  says: simply find two numbers whose product is 575 and whose difference is 2.<br>
You should recognize that 575 is a multiple of 25, and 575/25 = 23.  And 23 and 25 satisfy the required conditions, so you are done.<br>
