Question 1200829
what two numbers when added together equal -2 but when multiplied equal -360?
---------------
Find 2 factors of 360 that differ by 2.
One of them is negative.
--------------
Hint:  both are near {{{sqrt(360)}}}
============================================
The hard way:
a + b = 2
a*b = 360
---
a = 2-b
(2-b)*b = -360
2b - b^2 = -360
b^2 - 2b - 360 = 0
(b-20)*(b+18) = 0
b = 20
b = -18
