xy = -14
x + y = -3


xy = -14

(xy)/(x) = (-14)/(x)

y = (-14)/(x)


x + y = -3

x + (-14)/(x) = -3

(x^(2))/(x) + (-14)/(x) = -3

(x^(2) - 14)/(x) = -3

x^(2) - 14 = -3x

x^(2) + 3x - 14 = 0

x = \frac{-(3) \± \sqrt{(3)^(2) - 4(1)(-14)}}{2(1)}

x = (-3 \± √(9 + 56))/(2)

x = (-3 \± √(65))/(2)

x = (-3 \± 8.06)/(2)

x = -1.5 \± 4.03

x = -1.5 + 4.03
or
x = -1.5 - 4.03

x = 2.53
or
x = -5.53

x + y = -3
2.53 + y = -3
- 2.53 - 2.53
y = -5.53
(x, y) = (2.53, -5.53)

x + y = -3
-5.53 + y = -3
+ 5.53 + 5.53
y = 2.53
(x, y) = (-5.53, 2.53)

The two numbers that multiply to -14 and add up to -3 are -5.53 and 2.53.
