Let x=one number
And y= the other number
x+y=5-----------eq1
x*y=9------------eq2
Divide both sides of eq2 by y
x=9/y---------------substitute into eq1
(9/y)+y=5 multiply each term by y
9+y^2=5y subtract 5y from each side
y^2-5y+9=0 ----quadratic in standard form. Solve using quadratic formula

------------------one number
----------the other number
CK
(5 +i*sqrt(11))/(2)+(5 -i*sqrt(11))/(2)=10/2=5
And
{(5 +i*sqrt(11))/(2)}*{(5 -i*sqrt(11))/(2)}=25/4 +11/4=36/4=9

Hope this helps---ptaylor
