Question

What are the factors of -36 that will sum to give you a -5?

Answer 1

4, and -9

Explanation:

Well, to solve this problem, lets first list all the factors of -36.

-36 = 1*(-36)

-36 = 2 * (-18)

-36 = 3 * (-12)

-36 = 4 * (-9)

-36 = 6 * (-6)

-36 = 12 * (-3)

-36 = 18 * (-2)

-36 = (-36) * 1.

So, we can see that 4 + (-9) = -5.
