What numbers multiply to 18 and add up to -6?

Answer 1

12

Answer 2

To find two numbers that multiply to 18 and add up to -6, we need to set up a system of equations. Let the two numbers be x and y. We have the equations xy = 18 and x + y = -6. By substituting y = -6 - x into the first equation, we get x(-6 - x) = 18. Simplifying this equation gives us x^2 + 6x - 18 = 0. Solving this quadratic equation, we find the two numbers to be -3 and -9.

Answer 3

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math vibes! So, the numbers that multiply to 18 are -3 and -6, and when you add them up, you get -9, not -6. But hey, close enough, right? Math, man, it's a wild ride.

Answer 4

The factor pairs of 18 are (18, 1) (9, 2) (6, 3)

Even considering their negative counterparts, none of them add up to -6.

-3 x -3 x 2 x -1 x -1 = 18

Answer 5

6x 3
