One positive number is 6 more than twice another. If their product is
1736, find the numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, let's note a and b the two numbers.

We can write that

a = 6 + 2b

ab = 1736

So

We are looking for positive numbers so the solution is b = 28

and then a = 6 +2*28 = 62

Hope this helps.
