The system of equations is: x + y = 15 xy = 15 Solve the first for y and substitute in the second: y = 15-x x(15-x) = 15 15x - x² = 15 15x - x² - 15 = 0 -x² + 15x - 15 = 0 x² - 15x + 15 = 0And by symmetry, we may interchange x and y and get the same result. The irrational parts of x and y must have opposite signs otherwise their sum could not be 15. Answer: So there are two numbers that such that their sum and product are both 15. Checking their sum: Checking their product: Edwin
