Question

What two numbers will give me 16 multiplied and -10 added together?

Answer 1

-2,-8

Explanation:

-2-8 = -10

-2*-8= 16

Answer 2

-2 and -8

Explanation:

1. First, let's find the factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.

• This means that the factors of 16 (which are negative) are -1, -2, -4, -8, -16

2. Now, we have to find with factors add up to -10.

• 
  `1 + 16 = 17`
• 
  `2 + 8 = 10`
• 
  `4 + 4 = 8`
• 
  `-1 - 16 = -17`
• 
  `-2 - 8 = -10`

3. Great! Now that we found the two numbers that add to -10 and multiply to 16, the numbers are -2 and -8.
