------
Equations:
xy = -3136
x + y = 15
-----
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y":
(15-y)y = -3136
----
y^2 - 15y - 3136 = 0
-----
(y-64)(y+79) = 0
----
If y = 64, x = -79
-----
Ans: y = 79, x = -64

You can put this solution on YOUR website! ---
xy = -3136
x + y = 15
y = 15 - x
---
xy = -3136
x(15 - x) = -3136
15x - xx = -3136
-xx + 15x + 3136 = 0
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=-1, b=15, and c=3136
---
