Thank you so much for your help with this. My brain stopped and I need a push. Can you bring me through this problem please...
\n" ); document.write( "\"Use a quadratic equation to determine the two numbers -SAY X AND Y \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that satisfy the situation: Their sum is 9
\n" ); document.write( "X+Y=9..............................................I\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and their product is 20.\"?
\n" ); document.write( "XY=20..................................................II\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(X+Y)^2-(X-Y)^2=4XY
\n" ); document.write( "9^2-(X-Y)^2=4*20=80
\n" ); document.write( "(X-Y)^2=81-80=1
\n" ); document.write( "X-Y=1....................................III
\n" ); document.write( "EQN.II+EQN.III
\n" ); document.write( "2X=10
\n" ); document.write( "X=5
\n" ); document.write( "Y=9-X=9-5=4
\n" ); document.write( "SO THE 2 NUMBERS ARE 5 AND 4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
