What adds to 3 and multiplies to 18?

To find two numbers that add to 3 and multiply to 18, we can set up a system of equations. Let's call the two numbers x and y. We have the equations x + y = 3 and x * y = 18. By solving this system, we can find that the numbers are 1.5 and 12.


What adds to 20 and multiplies to 29?

To find two numbers that add to 20 and multiply to 29, we can set up a system of equations. Let's call the two numbers x and y. We have the following equations: x + y = 20 and x * y = 29. By solving these equations simultaneously, we find that the two numbers are 5 and 15.


Difference is 9 quotient is 2?

To find the two numbers that have a difference of 9 and a quotient of 2, we can set up a system of equations. Let's call the larger number x and the smaller number y. We have the equations x - y = 9 and x / y = 2. By solving these equations simultaneously, we can find that the larger number is 6 and the smaller number is 3.

Find the two numbers whose sum is 51 and whose difference is 13?

Let's call the two numbers x and y. We can set up a system of equations based on the given information: x + y = 51 and x - y = 13. By solving this system simultaneously, we can find the values of x and y. Adding the two equations together, we get 2x = 64, so x = 32. Substituting x back into the first equation, we find that y = 19. Therefore, the two numbers are 32 and 19.
