Use a quadratic equation to find two real numbers that satisfies the situation.

The sum of the two numbers is 7 and their product is 14.

A) x + y = 7

B) x * y = 14

y = 7 - x

Inserting this into B)

B) x * (7-x) = 14

7x - x^2 = 14

-x^2 + 7x - 14 = 0

Can't find the solution

Perhaps it should read the sum = 9?

Then x = 2 and y = 7
