Since you chose "polynomials and rational expressions" as the topic, I will assume you are looking for two rational numbers.

ANSWER: there are none.

x%2By+=+-5000000 --> y+=+-5000000-x

Graphing that equation and the constant function y = -60,000,000 on a graphing calculator gives a decimal approximation of an irrational answer.

I suspect the product and/or the sum you show are not correct -- perhaps not having the right numbers of zeros.
