l + w = 11 and lw=24. Find l and w.

The answer is l=3; w= 8 or vice versa. I can easily solve this problem by guessing, but I know there is another way to solve individually for l and w, which would involve some quadratics. I want to know the quadratics solution to solve complex questions of the same type.
