Answer:

2 and -10 or 4 and -5

Explanation:

An integer is any whole number, positive or negative (so not fractions, decimals.... just numbers like -1, -2, 10, etc.).

Hence, there is not only one answer to your question...

It could be 2 and -10, 4 and -5... just not any decimals or fractions!

God bless and stay safe! I hope this helped.

Explanation:

To find the factors of -20 (or 20), we ask ourselves: what numbers multiply each other to get -20?

We have:

-20 * 1

-10 * 2

-5 * 4

5* -4

10 * -2

20 * -1

All of these pairs are factors of -20. Choose two that you want to use! Hope this helps!
