What 2 numbers multiply to -240 and add to 22?

Answer 1

x * y = -240

x = -240/y

x + y = 22

y = 22 - x

x = -240/22 - x

x^2 + 22x = -240

x^2 + 22x + 240 = 0

This is not possible, there are only imaginary solutions.

Answer 2

Well, isn't that a happy little math problem we have here! To find the two numbers, we need to think about what factors of 240 could work. Since the numbers multiply to a negative number and add to a positive number, we know one number must be positive and the other negative. After some gentle calculations, we find the numbers to be 30 and -8.

Answer 3

To find two numbers that multiply to -240 and add to 22, we can set up a system of equations. Let's call the two numbers x and y. We have the equations xy = -240 and x + y = 22. By solving these equations simultaneously, we can find the two numbers. The numbers are 30 and -8, as 30 * -8 = -240 and 30 + (-8) = 22.

Answer 4

Well, honey, those two numbers would be 30 and -8. They multiply to -240 and add up to 22. It's basic math, nothing fancy.

Answer 5

Oh, dude, you want me to find two numbers that multiply to -240 and add up to 22? Easy peasy lemon squeezy! So, the numbers are 30 and -8. Yeah, it's like math magic or something.
