To find two numbers that multiply to 24 and add up to -14, we can set up a system of equations. Let's call the two numbers x and y. We have the equations xy = 24 and x + y = -14. By substituting y = -14 - x into the first equation, we get x(-14 - x) = 24. Simplifying this quadratic equation gives us x^2 + 14x + 24 = 0. Solving this quadratic equation will give us the two numbers that meet the given conditions.
24 times 14 equals 330

The numbers are -2 and -12 because -2 times -12 = 24 and -2+(-12) = -14
