To find two numbers that multiply to 12 and add up to 3, we can set up a system of equations. Let the two numbers be x and y. We have the equations xy = 12 and x + y = 3. By solving these equations simultaneously, we find that the two numbers are 1.5 and 2.5.

Oh, dude, we're diving into some math riddles now, huh? So, if we're looking for two numbers that multiply to 12 but add up to 3, we're talking about 3 and 4. They multiply to 12 (3 x 4 = 12) and add up to 7 (3 + 4 = 7). Math can be sneaky like that, right?

The factor pairs of 12 are (12,1)(6,2)(4,3)

None of them add up to 3.
