Question

Two numbers differ by 4 and their product is 192. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Let the numbers be x and y.
Given, x-y=4 ..... i) and
xy = 192 .... ii)
Now from i)
x= y+4 .... iii)
Putting the values of x in ii)

As it is not mentioned in the question that the number should be positiove or negative so both the vaues y can be considered.
Hence if one of the number is 12 then the other number is 16, and if one number is -16 then the other number is -12.
