You can set this up as a system of equations of 2 equations

Do you think you can set up 2 equations related to this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm no im not very smart when it comes to algebra... :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well since based on the information given it says the difference of 2 numbers is 8 then we can give 2 variables for this one thus for this we can say.......x-y=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try doing it in a similar way for the other one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so do the same thing with 33?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah try doing the same for the statement 2 positive numbers have a PRODUCT of 33
