What multiplies to 36 and adds to -12?

Answer 1

mn = 36

m + n = -12

m = -12 -n

Substitute

(-12 -n) n = 36

-12 n _ n^2 = 36

n^2 + 12n + 36 = 0

Factor

( n + 6)(n + 6) = 0

n = -6

& m = -6

Answer 2

24

Answer 3

To find two numbers that multiply to 36 and add up to -12, we can use algebra. Let's call the two numbers x and y. We know that xy = 36 and x + y = -12. By factoring 36, we find that the pairs of numbers that multiply to 36 are (1, 36), (2, 18), (3, 12), and (4, 9). However, the pair that adds up to -12 is (-6, -6). Therefore, the two numbers are -6 and -6.

Answer 4

Oh, what a happy little math problem we have here! To find two numbers that multiply to 36 and add up to -12, we can think of factors of 36. The numbers are -6 and -6 because -6 * -6 = 36 and -6 + (-6) = -12. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, sometimes all it takes is a little patience and a gentle touch to find the right answer.

Answer 5

(-6) and (-6).
