The two numbers have a sum of 35. Let one of the numbers
be x.
Therefore the other number is 35-
x
Now we know that the product of the numbers is 304.
Therefore (35-x)*x = 304
=> 35x – x^2 =
304
=> x^2 - 35x + 304
=0
=> x^2 – 16x – 19x +304 =
0
=> x(x-16) -19(x -16) +304
=0
=> (x-16)(x-19) =
0
Therefore x can be 16 or
19.
So the required numbers are 16 and
19.
