Laura is thinking of two one digit numbers whose sum is 11 and whose product is 18
---------
Hint:
18 = 1*18, 2*9 or 3*6
--------------
x = 1 number
11 - x = other number
x*(11-x) = 18
x%5E2+-+11x+%2B+18+=+0
Now you have to factor it anyway.
--------------
x = 1 number
18/x = other number
x + 18/x = 11
Same equation.
