1. $\"A%2AB=384\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2. $\"A%2BB=-164\"$
\n" ); document.write( "From eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=-B-164\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%28B%2B164%29B=384\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"B%5E2%2B164B%2B384=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28B%5E2%2B164B%2B6724%29%2B384=6724\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28B%2B82%29%5E2=6340\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"B%2B82=0+%2B-+sqrt%286340%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"B=-82+%2B-+2sqrt%281585%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A-82%2B2sqrt%281585%29=-164\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=-82-2sqrt%281585%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So the two numbers are,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=-82-2sqrt%281585%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"B=-82%2B2sqrt%281585%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
