Question
The product of two positive numbers is 72. If one of the
numbers is twice the other, find the difference between the two numbers.Solution
ATQ, Let the smaller number be x. Then the larger number is 2x. Use the product condition. x * 2x = 72 2x^2 = 72 Step 3: Solve for x. x^2 = 72 / 2 x^2 = 36 x = 6 (positive number) Find the two numbers. Smaller number = x = 6 Larger number = 2x = 12 Find their difference. Difference = 12 - 6 = 6
