I need to find out what two numbers that when multiplied can give me -24 but when added or subtracted can give me -8.

\n" ); document.write( "Equations::
\n" ); document.write( "xy = -24
\n" ); document.write( "x-y = -8
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "x = y-8
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "(y-8)y = -24
\n" ); document.write( "y^2 - 8y + 24 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "y = [8 +- sqrt(64-4*24)]/2
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "y = [8 +- sqrt(-32)]/2
\n" ); document.write( "y = [8 +- 4sqrt(2)i]/2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "y = [4 +- 2sqrt(2)i]
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\".
