Question

find two numbers whose sum is 24 and whose product is 95

Answer 1

so you have

x + y = 24
xy = 95

so substitute the 1st equation into the 2nd equation after make y the subject

x( 24 - x) = 95

or

x^2 - 24x + 95 = 0

solve for x by factoring.

hope it helps

Answer 2

Alternatively .(if you wish to do mentally).
factorise 95
as 95 =19*5 and 19+5=24
as here 19 and 5 are primes you may get the answer using hit and trial as above but not in all cases

Answer 3

solve by factoring: find two numbers whose product is 95 and whose sum is 24
