Answer #1

SOLUTION;

a) supposed one number is = p

Then other number is = p+5

Then their product is = p(p+5)

According to question

P(p+5)= 36

P​​​​​​2+5P-36=0

(P-4)(p+9)=0

P=4 that is possible

And. P= -9 this is not possible

So, number are = 4,(4+5)= 4,9

B)

\frac{2}{x-1}=\frac{3}{2+x}

3(x-1)=2(2+x)

3x-3= 4+2x

X=7

Answer , x=7
