What number adds to 42 but multiplies to 144?

Answer 1

To find the two numbers that satisfy these conditions, we can set up a system of equations. Let's call the two numbers x and y. We know that x + y = 42 and x * y = 144. By solving these two equations simultaneously, we can find that the two numbers are 12 and 30. 12 + 30 = 42 and 12 * 30 = 144.
