We need to find two numbers that meet the following...
first, let's clear x from the first equation
Second, substitute the solutions x = 24 + y into xy = 756
Now, we need to solve this second grade equation
We will obtain two values for y
We will only use the positive value
Now, we just have to replace y=18 into x=24+y
In conclusion, the two positive numbers that meet the conditions are:
18 and 42
