Question

What multiplies to get 169 and adds to get 26

Answer 1

so, something that multiplies itself and you get 169, and adds itself and gives 26 hmmmmmm.

a = the number.

well... we can use either... let's use both cases

a*a = 169 ---> a² = 169 ---> a = √(169) ---> a = 13

a + a = 26 ---> 2a = 26 ---> a = 26/2 ---> a = 13
