lee is thinking of two Numbers,the product is 18. the quotient is 2

Sagot :

naǫ
x, y - the numbers

The product is 18.
[tex]xy=18[/tex]

The quotient is 2.
[tex]\frac{x}{y}=2 \ \ \ |\times y \\ x=2y[/tex]

Substitute 2y for x in the 1st equation:
[tex]2y \times y=18 \\ 2y^2=18 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\ y^2=9 \\ y=\pm \sqrt{9} \\ y=3 \ \lor \ y=-3 \\ \\ x=2y \\ x=2 \times 3 \ \lor \ x=2 \times (-3) \\ x=6 \ \lor \ x=-6 \\ \\ (x,y)=(6,3) \hbox{ or } (x,y)=(-6,-3)[/tex]

The numbers are 6 and 3 or -6 and -3.
