Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let on number be x

Other number = 31 - x

Product of two numbers =  234

x*(31-x) = 234

x*31 -x*x = 234

31x -x² = 234

0= 234 + x² - 31x

x² - 31x + 234 = 0

x² - 18x - 13x + 18*13 = 0

x(x-18) - 13 (x - 18) = 0

(x - 18)(x- 13) = 0

x - 18 = 0     ; x - 13 = 0

x = 18           ; x = 13

The numbers are = 18,13
