Two numbers differ by 5 and product of those two is 360. Find the numbers??

• Answer: numbers are 16.64 and 21.64
  
  Explanation:
  X-Y=5;---(1)
  XY=360;---(2)
  Y=360/X...
  By solving (1) and (2) equations, we get
  X^2-5X-360=0
  X= 21.64, -16.64
  Y= 16.64, -21.64
  
  Hence numbers are 21.64 & 16.64
  21.64-16.64 = 5
  21.64*16.64 = 360

• Numbers are x and x-5.
  Then
  x*(x-5)= 360
  x^2-5x-360=0
  
  solving it, we get
  
  x= 21.64
  so numbers are 21.64 and 16.64 ( approx)
