Answer:

6 and -8

Explanation:

6x-8=-48

6+(-8)=-2

to find these number list what numbers you multiply together to get -48 but if you add them together u get -2

since in multiplication the 48 has a negative sign the one number is negative the other is positive

and since in addition the 2 is negative then the bigger number is also negative

2x-24=-48 but 2+(-24)=-22 wrong

3x-16=-48 but 3+(-16)=-13 wrong

4x-12=-48 but 4+(-12)=-8 wrong

--->6x-8=-48 and 6+(-8)=-2 correct
