Okay, so let's go over multiplying negative numbers. A positive times a positive is a positive, right? But a negative times a negative is also a positive. Only a negative times a positive (or a positive times a negative) gives you a negative number. So, we know that one of our 2 numbers in this question must be negative; the other must be positive.
Let's now take a look at the factors of -147, starting with the positives. Obviously, -147 and 1 are factors: -147 * 1 = -147. What other factors of -147 are there?
What about 7? Try it: -147 / 7 = -21. So here are two factors: -21, and 7. They multiply to -147. Do they add up to -14? Let's see: -21+7 = 7+(-21) = 7-21= -14. Yup, that works!
Answer: -21 and 7
let's recall that a cube is just a rectangular prism with all equal sides, check picture below.
![\bf \textit{volume of a cube}\\\\ V=s^3~~ \begin{cases} s=&length~of\\ &a~side\\ \cline{1-2} V=&27000 \end{cases}\implies 27000=s^3\implies \sqrt[3]{27000}=s\implies 30=s \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \textit{surface area of a cube}\\\\ SA=6s~~\begin{cases} s=&length~of\\ &a~side\\ \cline{1-2} s=&30 \end{cases}\implies SA=6(30)\implies SA=180](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Ctextit%7Bvolume%20of%20a%20cube%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20V%3Ds%5E3~~%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20s%3D%26length~of%5C%5C%20%26a~side%5C%5C%20%5Ccline%7B1-2%7D%20V%3D%2627000%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%5Cimplies%2027000%3Ds%5E3%5Cimplies%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B27000%7D%3Ds%5Cimplies%2030%3Ds%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ctextit%7Bsurface%20area%20of%20a%20cube%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20SA%3D6s~~%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20s%3D%26length~of%5C%5C%20%26a~side%5C%5C%20%5Ccline%7B1-2%7D%20s%3D%2630%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%5Cimplies%20SA%3D6%2830%29%5Cimplies%20SA%3D180)
