∙ 10y agoIf you are factoring a trinomial, and aren't studying complex numbers, you are very close, but need to look at the problem again. Are they supposed to multiply to give you 180 or -180? With real numbers, 180 doesn't work, but -180 does.
-15 X 12 = -180 and -15 + 12 = -3
15 X -12 = -180 and 15 + -12 = 3
If we take your question exactly as you wrote it, then there are
no two real numbers that satisfy that description.
The only numbers that can do it are the pair of complex conjugates

18 and 10 18 x 10 = 180 18 + 10 = 28

One example is 90 x 2 = 180

60 and 3
There are no two real numbers that do, but the complex numbers (2 + i) and (2 - i) will.If you want two numbers that multiply to negative 5 and add to positive 4 then: -1 and 5If you want two numbers that multiply to negative 5 and add to negative 4 then: 1 and -5
