### Instruction: The sum of two numbers is 50 and their difference is 6. What is their product?### Response: I need to find two numbers x and y such that x + y = 50 and x - y = 6.
One way to do this is to use elimination, by adding or subtracting the equations to eliminate one of the variables.
If I add the equations, I get 2x = 56, so x = 28.
Then I can plug x = 28 into either equation to find y. For example, using the first one, I get 28 + y = 50, so y = 22.
Now that I have x and y, I can find their product by multiplying them.
