Determine the number that adds up to 7 and can also be multiplied to -30.

Solution:

Since we are given a positive sum and a negative product, this may only mean that one number is positive and one number is negative. Hence the numbers that satisfy the given condition are, -3 and 10.

-3 + 10 = 7

(-3)(10) = -30

Final answer:

The two numbers are -3 and 10
