SOLUTION: GIVE FOUR INTEGERS WHOSE PRODUCT IS LESS THAN 0 AND WHOSE SUM IS -18

Question 465166: GIVE FOUR INTEGERS WHOSE PRODUCT IS LESS THAN 0 AND WHOSE SUM IS -18

Answer by Edwin McCravy(20065) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Four such integers are 8, -7, -9, and -10

(8)(-7)(-9)(-10) = -5040 which is less than 0

and

(8)+(-7)+(-9)+(-10) = -18

There are many possibilities:

Four other such integers are 1, -4, -7, and -8

(1)(-4)(-7)(-8) = -224 which is less than 0

and

(1)+(-4)+(-7)+(-8) = -18
