Question 866587: what numbers add to -18 and multiply to -65?
Answer by JulietG(1812)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A + B = -18
A * B = -65
.
What are the factors of 65? {65,1} {5,13}
One of the numbers must be negative (the multiplication)
The positive number must be smaller than the negative number
.
Are you sure you have the sign right for the multiplication?
If it's +65, then the numbers are -13 and -5.
This cannot work when the multiplied answer is -65 because the factors of -65 must be one positive and one negative. Please check the question.
