 Mechanics
• The class will be divided into five groups and
each member will be assigned a number.
• Each group will be given a problem to analyze
and solve.
• You must gather around to think about the
problem and make sure everyone in the group
understands and can explain and answer the
problem.
 Mechanics

• After the given time, random numbers will be

called from each group.
• The students with those numbers will stand
up and will explain the problem and its
solution by parts for his or her group.

 One number is 3 more than another number. The product
of the two numbers is 54. What are the numbers?
𝑥 2 + 3𝑥 − 54 = 0
𝐿𝑒𝑡 𝑥 = 𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑟 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟
𝒃𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈:
x + 3 = 𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟
The product of two numbers is 54.
(𝑥 − 6)(𝑥 + 9) = 0
𝑬𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: 𝑥(𝑥 + 3) = 54 𝑥−6 =0 𝑥+9 =0
𝒙=𝟔 𝒙 = −𝟗
𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒄𝒌:
𝑥(𝑥 + 3) = 54 𝐼𝑓 𝑥 = 6, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 6 𝑎𝑛𝑑 9.
𝐼𝑓 𝑥 = −9, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 − 9 𝑎𝑛𝑑 − 6.
𝑥 2 + 3𝑥 = 54 𝐴𝑛𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑟:

𝑥 2 + 3𝑥 − 54 = 0 Therefore, the numbers could be −9

and −6 or 6 and 9.
 The product of two numbers is 18 and their sum
is 9. What are the numbers?
𝑥 2 − 9𝑥 + 18 = 0
𝐿𝑒𝑡 𝑥 = 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟
𝒃𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈:
9 − 𝑥 = 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟
The product of two numbers is 18.
(𝑥 − 6)(𝑥 − 3) = 0
𝑬𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: 𝑥(9 − 𝑥) = 18 𝑥−6 =0 𝑥−3 =0
𝒙=𝟔 𝒙=𝟑
𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒄𝒌:
𝑥(9 − 𝑥) = 18 𝐼𝑓 𝑥 = 6, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 6 𝑎𝑛𝑑 3.
𝐼𝑓 𝑥 = 3, 𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 6.
9𝑥 − 𝑥 2 = 18 𝐴𝑛𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑟:

−𝑥 2 + 9𝑥 − 18 = 0 Therefore, the numbers are 6 and 3.

 One positive number is 4 less than another positive number. The
product of the two numbers is 60. What are the numbers?
𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 − 60 = 0
𝐿𝑒𝑡 𝑥 = 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟
𝒃𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈:
