To find two numbers that multiply to 180 and add to 3, we can use algebraic methods. Let's call the two numbers x and y. We know that xy = 180 and x + y = 3. By solving these two equations simultaneously, we can find the values of x and y. The two numbers are 15 and 12, as 15 * 12 = 180 and 15 + 12 = 27, which is not the same as 3.
If 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

One example is 90 x 2 = 180
To solve this problem, we are looking for two numbers that multiply to 150 and add to -19. Letβs break it down: Product of the two numbers: The two numbers should multiply to give 150. Sum of the two numbers: The same two numbers should add up to -19.
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
