x+y=35
xy=274.89
...
x+=+274.89%2Fy
...
274.89%2Fy + y = 35
274.89+%2B+y%5E2+=+35y
...
y%5E2+-+35y+%2B+274.89+=+0
y%5E2+-+35y+%2B+306.25+=+-274.89+%2B+306.25
...
%28y-17.5%29%5E2+=+31.36
sqrt%28y-17.5%29%5E2 = +/- sqrt%2831.36%29
...
y-17.5 = +/- sqrt%2831.36%29
y = 17.5 +/- sqrt%2831.36%29
...
The numbers are highlight_green%2823.1%29 and highlight_green%285.6%29
