Question

what multiplies to -168 and adds up to -22?

Answer 1

xy = -168 x+y = -22
x=-y-22
(-y-22)(y)=-168

Solve the last for y and then plug it into either equation for x.

Answer 2

what? ur going to in depth with the question! im looking for a simple awnser.

Answer 3

use either trial and error (list out the factors of -168 and see which ones add to -22)

or

solve x^2 - 22x - 168 = 0 for x using the quadratic formula, the two results will help you find the two numbers.

Answer 4

yeah ive been trying the trial and error method

Answer 5

here are all the ways to multiply 2 whole numbers to get -168


1*(-168) = -168
2*(-84) = -168
3*(-56) = -168
4*(-42) = -168
6*(-28) = -168
7*(-24) = -168
8*(-21) = -168
12*(-14) = -168
(-1)*(168) = -168
(-2)*(84) = -168
(-3)*(56) = -168
(-4)*(42) = -168
(-6)*(28) = -168
(-7)*(24) = -168
(-8)*(21) = -168
(-12)*(14) = -168

Answer 6

nice..

Answer 7

1 + (-168) = -167 ... doesn't work since we want -22

2 + (-84) = -82 ... doesn't work since we want -22

Keep going until you find -22 as a result

You may not find it (there's no guarantee it's in this list)

Answer 8

I was trying to teach you MattEditz versus just telling you an answer so that you can ask the question very similar again in 10 minutes.

Answer 9

well i already know how to do it, i just cant figure this one out.

Answer 10

If you cannot figure it out you do not know how to do it. Accept their instruction and re-try for yourself.

Answer 11

really? that makes no sense.

Answer 12

It means that if you look at the current Open Questions half of them are the same as another question. And the other half have to do with interest.

Answer 13

all u guys were useless

Answer 14

He literally spelled out the answer for you, learn some respect.

Answer 15
