• Using algebraic manipulations and formulas.
• Step-by-step explanations for each solution.

Problem 1: Finding the Product of Two Numbers

The problem provides the sum of two numbers (25) and their difference (13), and asks for their product. The solution uses the algebraic identity: a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b). By substituting the given sum and difference into this formula, the problem is transformed into finding a² - b², which simplifies to (25)² - (13)². The calculation yields 625 - 169 = 456, which is then divided by 4 to find the product of the two numbers, resulting in 114.

Problem 2: Difference Between Digits of a Two-Digit Number

This problem involves finding the difference between the digits of a two-digit number, given that the difference between the number and the number formed by reversing its digits is 36. The two-digit number is represented as 10x + y, and the number with reversed digits is 10y + x. The difference between these two numbers is expressed as (10x + y) - (10y + x) = 36. Simplifying this equation leads to 9x - 9y = 36, which further simplifies to x - y = 4. Thus, the difference between the digits x and y is 4.

Problem 3: Solving for an Unknown Number with Fractional Reductions

The problem states that when 1/3 of a number is taken away from 1/4 of that number, the result is 3 less than 15. The equation is set up as (1/4)x - (1/3)x = 15 - 3. Simplifying the fractions, the equation becomes (3x - 4x) / 12 = 12, which further simplifies to -x/12 = 12. Solving for x, we find that x = -144. However, since the number cannot be negative in this context, there seems to be an error in the transcription or interpretation of the problem statement.

Problem 4: Finding the Sum of Two Numbers Given the Product and Sum of Squares

Given that the product of two numbers (x and y) is 18 and the sum of their squares is 45, the task is to find the sum of the two numbers (x + y). The approach involves using the algebraic identity (x + y)² = x² + y² + 2xy. Substituting the given values, we have (x + y)² = 45 + 2(18) = 45 + 36 = 81. Taking the square root of both sides, we find that x + y = √81 = 9. Therefore, the sum of the two numbers is 9.
