I set up two equations:
xy=-270
x+y=-49
For the second equation, I subtracted y from both sides, and I was left with x=-49-y
I substituted -49-y into the first equation to get (-49-y)y=-270
I distributed the y, -49y-y2=-270
I divided both sides by -1, 49y+y2=270
I subtracted 270 from both sides (and rearranged it a bit, doesn't change the value of the equation) to get y2+49y-270
Some of you will recognize this as a quadratic, and the best way to solve this is with the quadratic formula!
After plugging in the numbers into the quadratic equation and simplifying, I was left with (-49±59)/2
x = 5 , x = -54

because the negatives cross out each other and your left with positive numbers to multipy.
