The difference of two numbers is 2 and the product of the numbers is 41.25. a. write an equation representing the product b. find the two numbers

Let us say first number is x.

Let us say second number is y.

We are given that:

The difference of the two numbers is 2.

.................(1)

We are also given that:

product of the numbers is 41.25

............(2)

Plugging the value of x from equation (1) in (2)

On solving we will get,

y=5.5 and y=-7.5

So if y=5.5,

x= 2+y = 7.5

Answer : The first number is 7.5 and the second number is 5.5
