What two numbers add up to 72 and multiply to 1296?

Answer 1

1368

Answer 2

Let's denote the two numbers as x and y. We know that x + y = 72 and x * y = 1296. To find the values of x and y, we can set up a system of equations. By factoring 1296, we get 36 * 36. Therefore, the two numbers are 36 and 36.

Answer 3

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the math questions! So, if we're talking about numbers that add up to 72 and multiply to 1296, we're looking at a classic case of algebraic fun. The numbers you're looking for are 36 and 36. They add up to 72 and, surprise, surprise, they also multiply to 1296. Math can be cool sometimes, right?

Answer 4

Let the two numbers be x & y:

• x + y = 72
• x * y = 1296

rearrange the first equation so [y = 72 - x], and substitute this into the second equation:

• x * (72 - x) = 1296 ---> 72*x - x² = 1296 ---> 0 = x² - 72x + 1296

Now use the quadratic equation: x = (72 +/- sqrt(72² - 4*1*1296))/2 = 72/2 = 36.

So 36 + y = 72 : y = 36. and this satisfies the second equation: 36*36 = 1296.

So x = y = 36.

Answer 5

Well, honey, those two numbers are 36 and 36. They add up to 72 and multiply to 1296. It's as simple as that, no need to make it more complicated than it is.
