What 2 numbers add to get -13 and multiply to get -48?

Question

Diamond prblems

Answer 1

48=2*2*2*2*3

2*2*2*2=16

3*16=48

-16*3=-48 and -16+3=-13

if you need algebra...

x+y=-13

x*y=-48

y=-13-x

x*(-13-x)=-48

-13x-x^2=-48

x^2+13x-48=0

factor

(x+16)(x-3)=0

x+16=0

x=-16

x-3=0

x=3

Answer 2

-16 and 3 should do the trick!
