Answer 1

Answer: 20 and 22

The product of 20 and 22 is 440 and 22 is 2 more than 20.

Answer 2

Answer:

219,221

Step-by-step explanation:

the second number can be represented by the equation n1+2=n2

adding these expressions together you get

(n+2)+n=440

youre going to think of n now as just your first number because the equation solves for n1

with that you will get a number valued at 219

you then solve the first equation n1+2=n2 because we now know the value of n1

219+2=221

so the second numbers value is 221
