The factors of 48 are:
1 x 48
2 x 24
3 x 16
4 x 12
6 x 8
and visa versa: 48 x 1 etc.
To make the product negative, one of the factors has to be positive and one has to be negative. To find the greatest sum, make the bigger number the positive factor and the smaller number the negative factor. So, -1 x 48 = -48 and the sum of -1 + 48 = 47 which would be the greatest possible sum.

Hopefully this helped
Cani get the brainliest please
X+y = 12
x-y = 3
x = 3+y
Substitute it in 1st equation,
3+y+y=12
2y = 9
y = 4.5
Substitute it in 1st eq.,
x = 12-4.5 = 7.5
So, the two numbers are 7.5 & 4.5
Hope this helps!
