Question

Two factors multiply to give you -48 and have a sum of -13. What are the factors?

Answer 1

6 and 8

Explanation:

First, it really isn't possible to have a correct answer because a negative times a negative make a positive. But then you need two negatives to get -13. So it's not really possible.

The factors are 6 and 8.

6x8=48

6+8=13

Answer 2

Your answer is 16 and 3

Explanation:

-16 X 3= -48

-16+3= -13

So your final answer is 16 and 3 (make sure to make one of the numbers a negative)
