Let's denote the two numbers as x and y. We know that xy = 45 and x + y = -18. To find the two numbers, we can set up a system of equations. One way to approach this is by factoring 45 into its prime factors (3 and 5) and then determining which combination of these factors satisfies the second equation. Therefore, the two numbers are -15 and -3, as -15 * -3 = 45 and -15 + (-3) = -18.

Well, butter my biscuit! The two numbers you're looking for are -15 and -3. They multiply to 45 and add up to -18. Now go forth and conquer those pesky algebra problems!
