but lesser is x so
if x is smaller then larger is 8 more so
x and x+8
produc is multiply

2nd one

The equation that can be use to find x when the product of two number equals 240 and the first number is 8 less than the second number is as follows;

x(x - 8)  = 240

The product of two numbers is 240.

Let the number be x and y.

The first number is 8 less than the second number. Therefore,

  • y = x - 8

The product of the numbers are as follows;

  • xy = 240
