The sum of two numbers is 32 and the product of half the larger and the smaller is 96. What are numbers?

Answer»

Answer:

given x+y=32.....1ST equation and

xy/2=96.....2nd equation and xy=192 and

y=192/x......3rdeq

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

  • do sobs(SQUARING on both sides) of eq 1 then we get x^2+y^2=640........4TH eq then subtract 1st eq from 4th eq we get x+y=32 then substitute eq 3 in it then we will get a quadratic equation then LIKE x^2-33x+192=0 then solve this qe using formula method the answer is 24,8
