- Given that (a+b)=6,(ab)=7,we know that (a-b)^2=(a+b)^2-4ab.then a-b=2 root 2
a=3+root 2,b=3-root 2 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- let two numbers are x and y
so xy=7
and x+y=6
=>x+7/x=6
=>x2-6x+7=0
the solution of the equation is 3-2^1/2 and 3+2^1/2
so the numbers are 3-2^1/2 and 3+2^1/2 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
