explanation: In order to find what two numbers have a Product and Sum write down what you know initially.

Let's assume the values we need to find are x, y whose product and sum are known.

Write the given data in the form of equations.

By using basic substitution, you will get an expression from which you can find the values easily.

If you aren't sure whether the results arrived are accurate or not cross-check the results obtained in the equations framed with input data.

Sum of two numbers = 24

Let's consider the numbers we need to find as x and y

To solve the problem x.y = 44

x+y = 24

y=24-x

Replace the value of y in the equation x.y=44. It's not necessarily y if you want you can interchange with the value of x too as x and y are interchangeable. . (24-x)=44

On solving the equation we get two numbers as 2 and 22

That's it the two numbers whose product is 44 and the sum is 24 are 2, 22. so you should be able to do the same with your question hope that helps!
