Let the numbers be 'm' & 'n'

Hence

m + n = 2

mn = - 280

It follows that m = 2 - n

Substitute

(2 - n)n = -280

Multiply out the brackets

2n - n^2 = -280

n^2 - 2n - 280 = 0

It is now in Quadratic form. Either use the Quadratic Eq'n or 'Complete the Square'.

n^2 - 2n = 280

(n - 1)^2 - (-1)^2 = 280

(n - 1)^2 = 281

Square root both sides

n -1= sqrt(281)

n = 1 +/- sqrt(281)

What numbers add and multiply to get 105.8?

There are infinitely many pairs of numbers that will add to 105.8 and infinitely many pairs of numbers that will multiply to 105.8 but there are no pair that will add AND multiply. I do not think there are larger sets, but I could be wrong. One example of a triplet adding and multiplying to the same number is 1, 2 and 3. They add to 6 and multiply to 6.
