Question

What numbers add to get 15 but multiply to get 48

Answer 1

Answer: No integers will.

Explanation:

First, we will list factors of 48.

1 and 48

2 and 24

3 and 16

4 and 12

6 and 8

Next, we see that none of these factor pairs will add to 15. The answer is none.

1 + 48 = 49

2 + 24 = 26

3 + 16 = 19

4 + 12 = 16

6 + 8 = 14
