Let x and y be the two numbers: x + y = 1 and x*y = -180, y = 1-x --> x*(1-x) = -180,

x - x^2 + 180 = 0 --> x^2 - x - 180 = 0

From the quadratic formula, we have:

x=1/2-sqrt(721)/2 = -12.92572158 and x=1/2+sqrt(721)/2 = 13.92572158 If you substitute one of these x values into either of the original formulas, you get the other x-value as the value for y.
