Answer:
-2 and -8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First, let's find the factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.
- This means that the factors of 16 (which are negative) are -1, -2, -4, -8, -16
2. Now, we have to find with factors add up to -10.
- [tex]1 + 16 = 17[/tex]
- [tex]2 + 8 = 10[/tex]
- [tex]4 + 4 = 8[/tex]
- [tex]-1 - 16 = -17[/tex]
- [tex]-2 - 8 = -10[/tex]
3. Great! Now that we found the two numbers that add to -10 and multiply to 16, the numbers are -2 and -8.
