Well, honey, the product of m and n minus 2 is simply mn - 2. It's as easy as pie, so don't overthink it. Just plug in your values for m and n, do the math, and voila! You've got your answer.

2m = n/2 - 3 where m and n are the two numbers.
Let the numbers by 'm' & 'n' Hence m + n = 12 mn = 35 Hence m = 35/n Substitute 35/n + n = 12 Multiply through by 'n' 35 + n^2 = 12n n^2 - 12n + 35 = 0 It is now in Quadratic Form ; Factor ( n - 7)(n - 5) = 0 Hence n= 7 or n= 5 It follows that m = 5 , or m = 7
Let the number be 'm' & 'n' Hence Sum = m + n = -5 Product = mn = 4 Algebraically rearrange the product to m = 4/n Substitute into the Sum (4/n) + n = -5 Multiply through by 'n' Hence 4 + n^2 = -5n n^2 + 5n + 4 = 0 It is not in Quadrtatic form . to solve. Hence (n - 1)(n - 4) = 0 n = -1 & n = -4 Are the two numbers.
5(m+/n
It is the constant term of the trinomial.
