Two numbers add up to 34 and their difference is 6. What is their product?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 280
- Step 1: Larger = (34 + 6) / 2 = 20 and smaller = (34 - 6) / 2 = 14. Step 2. Product = 20 x 14 = 280. Answer: 280. Why not the others: The other pairs do not have both sum 34 and difference 6.
