You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x and y are the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x*y= 56
\n" ); document.write( "and x-y= 8
\n" ); document.write( "x= 8+y
\n" ); document.write( "so,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(8+y)y = 56
\n" ); document.write( "so,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%5E2+%2B8y+-56+=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "y= $\"+%28-8%2B-+sqrt%288%5E2+-+4%2A1%2A%28-56%29%29%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "y= $\"+%28-8%2B-+sqrt%28288%29%29%2F2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "y= $\"+-4%2B-+6sqrt%282%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so, numbers are -4 + 6sqrt(2) and 4+6sqrt(2) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
