Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the 2 numbers be x and y
From the problem we have that
x * y = 600 and x + y = 59
From x + y = 59 -> x = 59 – y
Plug x = 59 – y to x * y = 600 we have
(59 – y) * y = 600
-> 59y – y^2 = 600
-> -y^2 + 59y – 600 = 0
-> y =
or 
Then we could plug the answers in and find x because x = 59 – y
