Hi,

Two negative integers 'x' and 'y' have a sum of -12 and a product or 11. 

What are the integers? 

 xy = 11  0r   x = 11/y

       ||Multiplying thru by y  so as all denominators = 1

   11 + y^2 = -12y

    y^2 + 12y + 11 = 0

  (y+11)(y+1) = 0

  (y+11)= 0  , y = -11  , x = -1

0r(y+1) = 0  , y = -1   , x = -11

 Integers are:  -11, -1
