Two numbers have a sum of 42 and a product of 432 What are the two numbers?

18 and 24 x^2 - 42x + 432 = 0 (x - 18)(x - 24) = 0 x = 18 and x = 24 Why?

x + y = 42 xy = 432

y = 432/x x + 432/x = 42 X^2 + 432 = 42x x^2 - 42x + 432 = 0If two numbers have a sum of 42 and a product of 432, the two numbers are 18 and 24.
