Let's paint a happy little picture here. The two numbers we're looking for are 18 and 30. When you multiply them, you get 540, and when you add them together, you get 48. Just remember, there are always happy little solutions waiting to be found.

Here's how I did it:

I set up my two equations:

xy=540

x+y=12

Then, by subtraction

x=12-y

By substitution:

xy=540

(12-y)y=540

12y-y2=540

-y2+12y-540=0

Through the quadratic formula...

y=6 ± -6i√14

If you use addition for y, then you should subtract for x, so that x + y = 12
