If you multiply 'a' by the sum of 'a' and 'b', you get 30. If now a + (a * b) = 30, now a * b = a + (a * b) - a². Solve for non-negative integers 'a' and 'b'.

a = 10 and b = 2.

a = 10 and b = 2    Oh yeah??? 

 

Problem says:  "If you multiply 'a' by the sum of 'a' and 'b', you get 30."  

 

a * (a + b) = 30 

 

10 * (10 + 2) = 30  NOT       No wonder you don't show your work.

That's wrong, Guest. The solution is

 

a = 1

b = 29 .

 

But at least you tried.
