The product (x) of two numbers is 24 and their sum (+) is 10. what is the value of the largest of the two numbers?

let the two numbers be x and y

From the first sentence

xy=24.......(1)

x+y=10......(2)

from equation 2 make y the subject of the formular and substitute it in equation 1

y=10-x

in equation one

x(10-x)=24

10x-x^2=24

=-x^2+10x=24

transfer the constant 24 to the left hand side and equate it to 0

=-x^2+10x-24=0

Then factorise completely
