Two numbers |
2008-07-19 |
|
From Jerry:
while driving in my car early this morning, i 'discovered' something and want to ask if there is an equation that would fit it...
Here it goes..... take any two numbers (with the exception of two of the same numbers), multiply the first number by 2,
add the difference of the original two numbers, and the outcome will be the same as if you added the original two numbers together...
example: 3+5=8... thus, 3+3+(5-3)=8...
if you chose to reverse the numbers then..... 5+3=8... thus, 5+5-(5-3)=8
i know, simple stuff.. but i just want someone to tell me what exactly this is.. is there a 'law' that describes this?

Two numbers whose sum is 25 and whose product is 120 |
2008-07-10 |
|
From Michelle:
Solve the following problem in at least two different ways.
Find two numbers whose sum is 25 and whose product is 120.
I know how to solve this problem by creating two equations
x+y=25 and xy=120 and then use substitution.
Are there any different ways of solving this problem?
