The product of two numbers is 88.The sum of two numbers is 26. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

let's take the numbers a and b

setup a system of equations:
a+b=26
a*b=88

now solve it using substitution:
1) b=88/a
2)(substitute) a+ 88/a = 26
3)(add fractions) (a^2+88)/a=26
4)(get polynominal) a^2-26a+88=0
5)(factor) (a-22)(a-4)=0
6) (solve) a=22 OR a = 4
7) (after checking) a= 22 or a=4
and b=22 or b=4

Answer 2

It is 13

Answer 3

first, you have to add 88 and 26.
88+26=104
next,you need to subtract 104 and 26.
