Answer 2

let the two numbers be x and (20 - x)
A/Q,
x(20-x)=36
=>20x-x²=36
=>x²-20x+36=0
=>x²-18x-2x+36=0
=>x(x-18)-2(x-18)=0
=>(x-18)(x-2)=0
.·.x-18=0 or x-2=0
=>x=18 or x=2
when x is equal to 18,then the two numbers are =18,(20-18)
=18,2
when x is equal to 2 then the two numbers are= 2,(20 - 2)
=2,18
