If the product of two numbers is 216 and the sum of their squares is 468, what is the sum of the numbers?
Correct Answer
30
• **Formula:** (x + y)² = x² + y² + 2xy. • **Given:** xy = 216, x² + y² = 468. • **Calc:** (x + y)² = 468 + 2(216) = 468 + 432 = 900. • **Resul......
💡 Analysis & Explanation
• **Formula
** (x + y)² = x² + y² + 2xy.
• **Given
** xy = 216, x² + y² = 468.
• **Calc
** (x + y)² = 468 + 2(216) = 468 + 432 = 900.
• **Result
** x + y = √900 = 30.
