Answer:
-2 and -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sum of the numbers is negative and the product is a positive, we know that two of the digits are negative because a negative time a negative is positive, and two negatives added are negative.
We can do these two ways.
1.) List out the multiples of 16 and see which ones add to -10
-1 (-16)
-2 (-8)
-4 (-4)
Only -2 and -8 add to get -10, so -2 and -8 are the answers.
2.) List the factors that add up to -10
-1 - 9
-2 - 8
-3 - 7
-4 - 6
-5 - 5
When multiplied, only -2 and -8 have a product of 16, so -2 and -8 are the answers.
