The difference between two numbers is 6. Their product is 2,016. What are the two numbers.
Answered by bobpursley
L-S=6
LS=2016

(6+S)(S)=2015
multiply out, solve the quadratic.

another way. sqrt 2016=44.89
so try numbers on each side of 45+-3
42, 48 difference six, product...

a = First number

b = Second number

The difference between two numbers is 6.

This mean :

a - b = 6

Their product is 2016.

This mean :

a * b = 2016

Now :

a - b = 6 Add b to both sides

a - b + b = 6 + b

a = 6 + b

a = b + 6

Replace this value in expression :

a * b = 2016

( b + 6 ) * b = 2016

b ^ 2 + 6 b = 2016 Subtract 2016 to both sides

b ^ 2 + 6 b - 2016 = 2016 - 2016

b ^ 2 + 6 b - 2016 = 0

The solutions are :

b = - 48 and b = 42

For b = - 48

a = b + 6 = - 48 + 6 = - 42


For b = 42

a = b + 6 = 42 + 6 = 48


The solutions are :

- 48 , - 42

and

42 , 48
