Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math riddles now? Okay, let's see... so we need two numbers that add up to 31 and multiply to 168. Well, those numbers would be 12 and 19. Yeah, I know, I'm basically a human calculator.

Let's denote the two numbers as x and y. We can create a system of equations based on the given conditions: x + y = 31 and x * y = 168. By solving the first equation for y (y = 31 - x) and substituting it into the second equation, we get x * (31 - x) = 168. Simplifying this quadratic equation gives us x^2 - 31x + 168 = 0. Factoring this quadratic equation, we find that the two numbers are 24 and 7.
