x, y - the numbers

The product is 18.
\(xy=18\)

The quotient is 2.
\(\frac{x}{y}=2 \ \ \ |\times y \\ x=2y\)

Substitute 2y for x in the 1st equation:
\(2y \times y=18 \\ 2y^2=18 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\ y^2=9 \\ y=\pm \sqrt{9} \\ y=3 \ \lor \ y=-3 \\ \\ x=2y \\ x=2 \times 3 \ \lor \ x=2 \times (-3) \\ x=6 \ \lor \ x=-6 \\ \\ (x,y)=(6,3) \hbox{ or } (x,y)=(-6,-3)\)

The numbers are 6 and 3 or -6 and -3.

\(\begin{cases} y=3 \\ x=2y \end{cases}\ \ \vee \ \ \ \ \begin{cases} y=-3 \\ x=2y \end{cases}\\\\ \begin{cases} y=3 \\ x=2*3 \end{cases}\ \ \vee \ \ \ \ \begin{cases} y=-3 \\ x=2*(-3) \end{cases}\\\\ \begin{cases} y=3 \\ x=6 \end{cases}\ \ \vee \ \ \ \ \begin{cases} y=-3 \\ x=-6\end{cases}\\\\\)
