Two numbers added together equals - 1: x + y = -1
The same two numbers multiplied equals 2: xy = 2
If there was a solution, both numbers would have to be negative to satisfy the two conditions at the same time: y < 0, x < 0
After spending some time calculating, I recon there is no solution to this equation system that satisfy the two conditions simultaneously.
1) x+y = -1
2) xy = 2
Answer: The question is missing a solution. No solution is possible.
