To find two numbers whose sum is 8 and product is 7, we can set up the equations: ( x + y = 8 ) and ( xy = 7 ). From the first equation, we can express ( y ) as ( y = 8 - x ). Substituting this into the second equation gives ( x(8 - x) = 7 ), leading to the quadratic equation ( x^2 - 8x + 7 = 0 ). Solving this, we find the numbers are 7 and 1.
