Question

What two numbers multiply to 12 and add -8

Answer 1

Answer: -6 & -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-6 x -2 = 12

-6 + -2 = -8

Answer 2

-6 & -2

Explanation:

Check. Note that when you multiply two negative numbers, the answer will be positive:

-6 * -2 = 12

Note that when you add two negative numbers, if there is a positive & negative sign directly next to each other, you change it to a subtract sign:

-6 + (-2) = -6 - 2 = -8
