Remember, there are many different ways to solve a problem, just like there are many ways to paint a beautiful landscape!

Answer 2

To find two numbers that add up to -60 and multiply to 36, we can set up a system of equations. Let's call the two numbers x and y. The sum of the numbers is x + y = -60, and the product of the numbers is xy = 36. By solving these equations simultaneously, we find that the two numbers are -12 and -48.

Answer 3

The factor pairs of 36 are (36,1)(18,2)(12,3)(9,4)

Even considering their negative counterparts, none of them adds up to -60.
