Question

What two integers have the product of 28 and the sum of -11 ? a -2 and -14 b 4 and 7 c -4 and -7 d 2 and 14

Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's look at the factors of 28.

1,28

2,14

4,7

We see that 4 and 7 add to make 11, but not -11. Well, we can just make both of them negative and then it will be -11 and their product will still be 28. Our numbers are -4 and -7.

Have a wonderful day! :D
