What two numbers when the lesser is subtracted from the greater equal 1, but when multiplied equal ten.
Let the bigger number =G
Let the smaller number =L
G - L = 1
G*L =10, solve for G, L
G = 1/2 (1 + sqrt(41)) ≈ 3.70156, and:
L = 1/2 (sqrt(41) - 1) ≈ 2.70156, and:
G = 1/2 (1 - sqrt(41)) ≈ -2.70156 and:
L = 1/2 (-1 - sqrt(41)) ≈ -3.70156
