Find two number that add to -17 and multiply to 66.
Solution:
In order to find the two numbers, we must first find the factors of 66.
Factors of 66:
1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, and 66.
Now since we have a negative sum, this means that the values are negative, whereas we also know that a negative value multiplied to another negative value will result to a positive value.
-11 and -6
= -11 - 6
= -17
= (-11)(-6)
= 66
Final answer:
-11 and -6
