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.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Since the problem is to prove that the two triangles are congruent by applying SSS (side -side -side) congruence theorem, the missing or the additional information that can be shown in the solution is the third side of both triangles must be also equal and congruent. Since in SSS theorem, all sides of a given triangle must be congruent to the opposite three sides of the second triangle.
