-2*-8= 16

Answer 2

Answer:

-2 and -8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, let's find the factors of 16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.

• This means that the factors of 16 (which are negative) are -1, -2, -4, -8, -16

2. Now, we have to find with factors add up to -10.

• $1 + 16 = 17$
• $2 + 8 = 10$
• $4 + 4 = 8$
• $-1 - 16 = -17$
• $-2 - 8 = -10$

3. Great! Now that we found the two numbers that add to -10 and multiply to 16, the numbers are -2 and -8.
