First we'll take the two facts we're given:

x + y = 11

xy = -105

And combine them into a single equation:

x(11 - x) = -105

Now we can solve for x:

x2 - 11x = 105

x2 - 11x + (11/2)2 = 105 + (11/2)2

(x - 11/2)2 = 420/4 + 121/4

x - 11/2 = √(541/4)

x = (11 ± √541) / 2

So the two numbers are (11 + √541) / 2 and (11 - √541) / 2, or approximately 17.1297 and -6.1297
