What two numbers have a product of 92 and a sum of 37?




To find the answer to "What two numbers have a product of 92 and a sum of 37?" we first state what we know. We are looking for x and y and we know that x • y = 92 and x + y = 37.

Before we keep going, it is important to know that x • y is the same as y • x and x + y is the same as y + x. The two variables are interchangeable. Which means that when we create one equation to solve the problem, we will have two answers.


To solve the problem, we take x + y = 37 and solve it for y to get y = 37 - x. Then, we replace y in x • y = 92 with 37 - x to get this:

x • (37 - x) = 92

Like we said above, the x and y are interchangeable, therefore the x in the equation above could also be y. The bottom line is that when we solved the equation we got two answers which are the two numbers that have a product of 92 and a sum of 37. The numbers are:

2.68071
34.31929


That's it! The two numbers that have a product of 92 and a sum of 37 are 2.68071 and 34.31929 as proven below:

2.68071 • 34.31929 ≈ 92

2.68071 + 34.31929 = 37

Note: Answers are rounded up to the nearest five decimals if necessary so the answers may not be exact.
