Best Answer

The two numbers are: 2.2 and 2

Make two equations: x+y=4.2 and xy=4.4

Using the first addition equation, x=4.2-y

You can plug in 4.2-y for x in the second multiplication equation.

y(4.2-y)=4.4

4.2y-y2=4.4

y2-4.2y+4.4=0

Use the quadratic formula--> y=[-b +/- sqrt(b2-4ac)]/2a

y=2.2 and 2
