the two numbers are 50.54657341 and -8.546573405 That was a good try. The two numbers do add up to 42, but unfortunately the product of a positive and a negative is negative, so that they multiply to give -432 rather than 432. The correct answer is 18 and 24

Well, let's take a moment to look at this together. When we see -3 multiplied by 5, we can think of it as -3 groups of 5. So, if we have -3 groups, each with 5 in them, we end up with -15. And remember, mistakes are just happy little accidents along the way to learning.

The two numbers that add to get 14 and multiply to -72 are 18 and -4. This is because 18 + (-4) = 14 and 18 * (-4) = -72. The key to finding these numbers is to recognize that their sum is positive and their product is negative, indicating that one number is positive and the other is negative.
