Let us assume the two numbers to be "x" and "y".
Then
xy = - 24
x = - (24/y)
And
x + y = 2
Putting the value of x from the first equation in the second equation, we get
x + y = 2
- (24/y) + y = 2
- 24 + y^2 = 2y
y^2 - 2y - 24 = 0
y^2 - 6y + 4y - 24 = 0
y(y - 6) + 4(y - 6) = 0
(y - 6) (y + 4) = 0
When
y - 6 = 0
y = 6
Then
x + y = 2
x + 6 = 2
x = 2 - 6
   = -4
And when
y + 4 = 0
y = -4
Then
x + y = 2
x - 4 = 2
x = 2 + 4
   = 6
So the two unknown numbers are -4 and 6.

Deepest desires pls share immediately
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Well if you're talking about me having deep desires, I want to be successful and make good grades and sell art to get that $$$

It's not just about selling art for money, it's doing what I love.

I want to glow up so bad omg

I'm too embarrassed to share the rest of my ~deep~ desires LOL

I want to be ~loved~ :(

Seeing all these people on Valentines Day got me acting up

The plushies and the chocolates and the balloons.

I will never ever have a good Valentines day but that's okay I guess.

I remember I had to go to ISS (In School Suspension) at a high school (when I was in 5th grade aka elementary school), (long story), and it was on Valentines day. I didn't even belong there. Everybody had balloons and they were kissing each other while I was sitting in the guidelines. I was eating on the floor at lunch time (we had to eat outside like dogs) and the high schoolers would always stare at me like I was a freak. Imagine this. I'm sitting against a brick wall eating my slop outside, and the high schoolers are sitting at a table outside. there were a lot of tables outside. There were A LOT of students outside. Imagine them all staring you down and laughing. It is so embarrassing I tell you.

I went home to talk to my mom on the phone about how miserable I was at the high school, but she was busy because she was at a restaurant and she had to go. I felt alone and sad on that day and it still effects me.

Anyways, back to my deepest desires, I may have desires, but I will probably never make them come true lol

Thanks for whoever read this far
