Any two negative numbers will always give you a positive number, so let's just ignore the - for now.
Straight away, two numbers that multiply to give 72 is 8 and 9. This is just basic multiplying. Now, to check if it adds to 17 (because we're ignoring the minus for now), you just do 8 + 9, which coincidentally happens to be 17. So you just place a minus in front of 8, and a minus in front of 9, and you get -8 × -9 = 72, and -8 + -9 = -17.
It’s a, a metaphor is a comparison of two different things to make them more alike
I am no genius, but I don't agree with that statement. I don't agree with it because geniuses are considered rare. It's a common misconception that they are born this way, but in reality it's scientifically possible to become a genius. This requires lots of inspiration by people who are already geniuses to make it a goal for yourself to become one. Also, geniuses commonly invent useful things which requires inspiration, a motive to do something first. Overall, you must first have a drive to achieve a goal.
