The product of the numbers that are 8 less than and 19 more than a positive number is 2368. What is the original number?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 45

Let the original number be \(x\). Then \((x-8)(x+19)=2368\). Expanding gives \(x^2+11x-2520=0\), or \((x-45)(x+56)=0\). Thus \(x=45\) or \(x=-56\); since the number is positive, the answer is 45. Exam tip: Translate each phrase into an algebraic expression first, solve the resulting quadratic, and then apply any condition such as positivity.
