The sum of 2 numbers is 30. Their product is 176. What are the 2 numbers?

Step-by-step explanation:

x, 30 - x add to 30.  The other condition says

x (30 - x) = 176.  Multiply it out.

30x - x^2 = 176, so

x^2 - 30x = -176, complete square by adding 15^2 to both sides

(x - 15)^2 = 225 - 176 = 49, take square root

x - 15 = 7,  so one number is:

x = 22 and the other is 30 - x = 8.

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
