I don’t know what equation to use for this problem

Question

Two positive real numbers have a sum of 5 and a product of 5. Find the two numbers.

Answer 1

x+y=5=xy

x/y+1=5/y=x

(5/y)/y+1=5/y

5/y^2=5/y-1

5/y=5-y

Answer 2

Hi there! I'd love to help you out :)

For this one we will have two equations. Let's say "x" is our first number and "y" is the second. Our first equation will be the sum (meaning adding) of them and the second will be the product (meaning multiplication:

x + y = 5 x * y = 5

These are the equations to use for this problem. I hope this was helpful :)
