    Let the fist integer be x, the second is x+20

    the product of the numbers is:

    x (x+20)

    the sum of the numbers is:

    x+x+20=2x+20

    the sum of the above operations will give us:

    2x+20+x^2+20x=95

    x^2+22x+20=95

    this can be written as quadratic to be:

    x^2+22x-75=0

    solving the above we get:

    x=3 and x=-25

    but since the integers should be positive, then x=3

    the second number is x+20=3+20=23

    hence the numbers are:

    3 and 23
