Answer:
13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313
Explanation:
If one of the numbers is x, then the other is 13-x, and their product is ...
x(13 -x) = -12
x^2 -13x = 12 . . . . multiply by -1 and simplify
x^2 -13x +6.5^2 = 12 +6.5^2 . . . . complete the square
(x -6.5)^2 = 54.25
x -6.5 = √54.25
x = 6.5 +√54.25 ≈ 13.8654599313
and the other number is ...
13 -x = 13 -13.8654599313 = -0.8654599313
The two numbers are 13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313.
