Answer 2

Well, isn't that a happy little math problem! Let's think about it together. The two numbers we are looking for are 12 and 5. When you add them together, you get 17, and when you multiply them, you get 84. Isn't that just a beautiful math puzzle to solve?

Answer 3

To find two numbers that add to 17 but multiply to 84, we can set up a system of equations. Let's call the two numbers x and y. We have the following equations: x + y = 17 and x * y = 84. By solving these equations simultaneously, we can find that the two numbers are 12 and 5.

Answer 4

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the math riddles, huh? Alright, so we're looking for two numbers that add up to 17 but multiply to 84. Let me break it down for you - the numbers are 12 and 5. Yeah, it's like magic, but with numbers. You're welcome.

Answer 5

The factor pairs of 84 are (84, 1) (42, 2) (28, 3) (21, 4) (14, 6) (12, 7)

None of them add up to 17.

If that was -84, you could use 21 and -4
