Question

HELP PLEASE

The product of two positive numbers is 35 and their difference is 2. What is the sum of the two numbers?

Answer 1

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the numbers x and y

Product = x × y = 35

Difference = x - y = 2

From difference, we can say x = 2 + y or y = x - 2

Factors of 35 are 1,5,7 and 35

x = 7 y = 5

Sum = x + y = 7 + 5 = 12
