There do not exist any 2 numbers that can multiply to give you 180 and add to give you -3.

The closest combination would be 12 and 15.

12 x 15 = 180 CORRECT

12 + 15 = 27 INCORRECT

12 x -15 = -180 INCORRECT

12 + -15 = -3 CORRECT

-12 x -15 = 180 CORRECT

-12 + -15 = -27 INCORRECT

As you can see, these combinations only allow you to get 1 of the 2 but you can not go both scenarios occurring at the same time.

(Let me just say, that if you are trying to factorise a quadratic equation, it will not work and you will not get any solutions. There aren't any factors which multiply to give you 180 and add to give -3.)

Hope that helps.
