What numbers can you multiply to get 20 and add to get 5?

Answer 1

25

Answer 2

To find two numbers that multiply to 20 and add up to 5, we can set up a system of equations. Let the two numbers be x and y. We have xy = 20 and x + y = 5. By solving these equations simultaneously, we get that the two numbers are 4 and 1. This is because 4 * 1 = 4 and 4 + 1 = 5.

Answer 3

Well, honey, you're looking for a pair of numbers that can't make up their minds. They need to multiply to 20 but also add up to 5. The dynamic duo you're searching for is 2 and 10. They may not be the life of the party, but they get the job done.

Answer 4

There is no pair of 'real' numbers that can do that.

2.5 + j3.71

and

2.5 - j3.71

do it.
