What multiply to get 12 add to get negative 8?

Answer 1

20

Answer 2

To find two numbers that multiply to get 12 and add up to -8, we can use a system of equations. Let's denote the two numbers as x and y. We know that xy = 12 and x + y = -8. By solving these equations simultaneously, we can find the two numbers. Factoring 12 gives us the pairs (1, 12), (2, 6), and (3, 4). However, only the pair (-4, -4) satisfies the condition, as -4 * -4 = 16 and -4 + -4 = -8.
