    Whenever you have a Sum & a Product of two, the easiest way to calculate them is to use o numbers the following quadratic equation:

    X² - SX + P = 0, where S = sum and P = product

    X² - 64X + 988 = 0, solving for X will give you the result:

    X₁ = [-b + √ (b² - 4. a. c) ]/2a And X₂ = [-b - √ (b² - 4. a. c) ]/2a

    X₁ = [+64 + √ (64² - (4). (1) (988) ]/2 and X₂ = [+64 - √ (64² - (4). (1) (988) ]/2

    X₁ = 38 and X₂ = 26
