Answer 2

Well, isn't that a happy little puzzle we have here! To find two numbers that add up to 28 and multiply to -48, we can think of factors. The numbers we're looking for are 16 and -3. They add up to 13 and multiply to -48. Just remember, there are always happy little solutions waiting to be discovered!

Answer 3

The two numbers that add to 28 and multiply to -48 are 16 and -3. This is because 16 + (-3) = 13 and 16 * (-3) = -48. The key is to find two numbers whose sum is positive (since they add to 28) and whose product is negative (since they multiply to -48).

Answer 4

There are infinitely many sets.

One such is {-48, 1, 1, 1, ... (76 ones in all)}.

Another is {-24, 2, 1, 1, 1, ... (50 ones in all)}.
