The product of two numbers is 88. the sum of the two numbers is 26. what are the numbers

let's take the numbers a and b

setup a system of equations:

a+b=26

a*b=88

now solve it using substitution:

1) b=88/a

2)(substitute) a+ 88/a = 26  

3)(add fractions) (a^2+88)/a=26

4)(get polynominal) a^2-26a+88=0

5)(factor) (a-22)(a-4)=0

6) (solve) a=22 OR a = 4

7) (after checking) a= 22 or a=4

and b=22 or b=4

24/56=hx^7

step-by-step explanation:

x> 6

step-by-step explanation:

8x+8> 7x+14

8x-7x> 14-8

x> 6
