Question

What two numbers add to equal -12 and multiply to equal -28?

Answer 1

One thing before we start :)

AS you can see both numbers after equation have to be negative,
also we know that 2 same numbers have to add up to -12 and those 2 number after multiplication have to be equal -28

Some theory:

We know that any number which is not negative multiplied by negative will result in negative result, to make it more clear


`(+)*(-)=(-)`

but


`(-)*(-)=(+)`

we have 2 unknown numbers, let's say it's
`x` and
`y`


`x+y=-12`

`x*y=-28`

for
`x=2`
for
`y=-14`


`2+(-14)=2-14=-12`

`(2)*(-14)=-28`

So your answer is 2 and -14 ;)
