Detailed Solution

Let the two numbers be x and y. Given that the sum is 27 and the product is 182.
We have,
x+y=27  
y=27x   … (1)
xy=182   … (2)
Substitute (1) in (2), and we have
x(27x)=182 27x x 2 =182 x 2 27x+182=0 x 2 14x13x+182=0 x(x14)13(x14)=0 (x14)(x13)=0  
We have,
x14=0 x=14   (or) x13=0 x=13  
Substitute the above values in the equation (1), and we have
y=2714 =13 y=2713 =14  
Hence, the two numbers are (14,13)   and (13,14)  .
