Find the product if the sum of two numbers is 131 and the difference is 35 Please help: this is due in one hour. Please write let statements and equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be : x and y

x +y =131                 ,       x-y= 35

by omitting :

x+y=135

x-y=35

cancel the ys with each other and add each side together

2x=135+35 = 170

to get x

x=170/2 =85

now u have the x time to get the y u can get it for any equation u like

85+y=135

y=135-85 = 50

the product = 85 x 50 = 4250

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

probably the last option
