1. **Problem:** Which two numbers have a sum of 15 and a product of 36?
2. **Formula:** Let the numbers be $x$ and $y$.
$$x + y = 15$$
$$xy = 36$$
3. **Work:**
From $x + y = 15$, $y = 15 - x$.
Substitute into product:
$$x(15 - x) = 36$$
$$15x - x^2 = 36$$
$$x^2 - 15x + 36 = 0$$
4. **Solve quadratic:**
$$x = \frac{15 \pm \sqrt{15^2 - 4 \times 36}}{2} = \frac{15 \pm \sqrt{225 - 144}}{2} = \frac{15 \pm \sqrt{81}}{2} = \frac{15 \pm 9}{2}$$
5. **Solutions:**
$$x = \frac{15 + 9}{2} = 12, \quad y = 3$$
$$x = \frac{15 - 9}{2} = 3, \quad y = 12$$
6. **Answer:** The numbers are $3$ and $12$.
