All I need to know is what two numbers when added make 13/24 and when multiplied make 1/16. Sorry, just very tired.
(x=, y=)
(x+y=13/24)
(x*y=1/16)

y = 1 / (16 x)
x + 1 / (16x) = 13/24
48x² + 3 = 26x
48x² - 26x + 3 = 0
(8 x - 3 )(6x - 1) = 0
x = 3 / 8 , x = 1 / 6

x+y=13/24
x*y=1/16
y = 13/24 - x
x(13/24 - x) = 1/16
x(13 - 24x)/24 = 1/16
x(13 - 24x) = 24/16 = 3/2
2x(13-24x) = 3
26x - 48x^2 = 3
48x^2 - 26x + 3 = 0
(6x - 1)(8x - 3) = 0
x = 1/6 or 3/8
y = 3/8 or 1/6

Wow! You're SO tired, but were somehow able to enter all that info on this website? I wish I had your stamina! BTW, what the heck does "MD-103" mean???
