~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let "x" and y" be the two numbers. We have xy = , (1) and = . (2) Multiply (1) and (2) (both sdes). You will get = = . Hence, x = +/- . Next, divide (1) by (2) (both sides). You will get = : = = . Hence, y = +/- . Answer. There are two solutions: (x,y) = (,) and (x,y) = (,). // We should exclude the second solution, since the numbers are negative.
