The sum of two numbers is 15.

The difference of the same two numbers is 3.

What is the product of the two numbers?

You must show your working out.

X + y = 15

x - y = 3

First you have to work out what two numbers add together to make 15, for example 1 and 14 or 5 and 10.

Then you have to work out which set of numbers have a difference of 3.

The numbers would be 6 and 9.

Once you have the two numbers, multiply them together:

6 x 9 = 54
