First let's start with the equation:

x + y = -11

xy = -180

We can substitute -11 in for x + y to get:

xy = -180

x(-11) = -180

Now let's divide both sides by -11

x = 180/11

x ≈ 16.36

We can now use the equation x + y = -11 to solve for y

y = -11 - 16.36

y ≈ -27.36

The two numbers that add to -11 but multiply to -180 are 16.36 and -27.36.
