Answer: -2 and -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are all of the ways to factor 16 using positive whole numbers

  • 1*16
  • 2*8
  • 4*4

Which of those add to 10? That would be 2+8 = 10

Now make each of those numbers negative

  • -2 times -8 = 16
  • -2 plus -8 = -10

The order of the -2 and -8 doesn't matter. Use a number line to help see why -2 plus -8 = -10.
