​

Answer 1

Answer:

6,4

Step-by-step explanation:

jusst cause think about the factors of 24. 1,24,2,12,4,6,3,8

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the two numbers be a,b

Mean is 5

⟹ a+b/2=5

a+b=10

b=10−a

Product is 24

⟹ ab=24

a(10−a)=24

10a−a^2=24

a^2−10a+24=0

a^2−6a−4a+24=0

a(a−6)−4(a−6)=0

(a−6)(a−4)=0

a=6,4

So the numbers are 6 and 4
