The two numbers are 48 and 18.

66 = l + s

l = 2 + 3s

66 = 2 + 3s + s

66 = 2 + 4s

66 - 2 = 64

64 = 4s

64 / 4 = 16

66 = l + 16

66 - 16 = 50

50 - 2 = 48

16 + 2 = 18

66 = 48 + 18

Hi,
Following the rules of PEMDAS you first subtract in the parentheses.
(5-2)=3
Then multiply the parentheses.
(3)(-6)=-18
Solve the exponent.
-4^2=16
Then you add -18 and 16 to get -2.
So the answer is B.-2.
I hope this helps.
