I ususally use the sensible guess method too saseflower but here is another way.

 

What two factors of 1080 equal the sum of 69

xy=1080   (1)

x+y=69  so  y=69-x    (2)

sub 2 into 1

 

 

x(69x)=108069xx2=10800=x269x+1080$nowyoucansolveitwiththequadraticformula$

 

x269×x+1080=0{x=45x=24}

Well first guess and check

I just subtracted random numbers from 69 and then multiplyed them with the difference.

I finally got 45 and 24

 

Basically you just have to do guess and check
