Question

What multiplies to 5 but adds to negative 4?

Answer 1

The answer is -5 and -1
.....................................

Answer 2

So find factors of 5
1 and 5
both factors must be both negative or both positive to be positive 5
adds to negative 4
to do that, they both must be negative
-5 times -1=5
-5+-1=-6
doesn't work


the only way it would work is if it is what multipies to -5 and adds to -4 which then the numbers would be -5 and 1
