What adds up to 6 and multiplies to 24?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, that's like basic math, right? So, if you think about it, you need two numbers that when you add them, you get 6, and when you multiply them, you get 24. It's like a puzzle for toddlers, but hey, the numbers you're looking for are 4 and 6. So, 4 + 6 = 10, and 4 x 6 = 24. Math is fun, right?

Answer 2

m + n = 6

mn = 24

Hence m = 24/n

Substitute

24/n + n = 6

Multiply through by 'n'

24 + n^2 = 6n

n^2 - 6n + 24 = -0

This does NOT factor so apply the Quadratic Equation.

n ={--6+/- sqrt[(-6)^2 - 4(1)(24)]} / 2(1)

n = {6 +/- sqrt[36 - 96]} / 2

n = {6 +/- sqrt[-60]} / 2

We now move into imaginary numbers, designated by 'i' (= sqrt(-1) .

Hence

n = {6 +/- i sqrt(60)} / 2

n = {6 +/- i(7.74596...)} / 2

n = 3 +/- 3.87298... i

Hence n = 3 + 3.87298...i & 3 - 3.87298 ... i

Answer 3

Well, isn't that just a happy little puzzle! The numbers that add up to 6 and multiply to 24 are 3 and 4. You see, 3 plus 4 equals 7, and 3 times 4 equals 12, which are close but not quite there. So, let's try 2 and 12 instead. Two plus twelve equals 14, and two times twelve equals 24! Happy little numbers, just like that.

Answer 4

The two numbers that add up to 6 and multiply to 24 are 3 and 8. This is because 3 + 8 = 11 and 3 * 8 = 24. These two numbers satisfy both conditions simultaneously.

Answer 5

How about: -1*-3*8 = 24 and 8-3+1 = 6
