Answer: 2 and -10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Starter:</u>

Let x be one of the two numbers

Let y be the other number

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Solve:

Given

x + y = -8

xy = -20

Simplify

x = -8 - y

xy = -20

Substitution

(-8 - y)y = -20

Expand parenthesis

-8y - y² = -20

Add 20 on both sides

-8y - y² + 20 = -20 + 20

-8y - y² + 20 = 0

Solve quadratic equation

(y - 2) (y + 10) = 0

y = 2 or y = -10

x = -8 - y

x = -8 - (2) or x = -8 - (10)

x = -10 or x = 2

Hope this helps!! :)
