Question

which factor pair of 36 has a sum that is -20

Answer 1

Let me reword the question for you.

“What two numbers that when multiplies equal 36, when added with each other, equal -20?”

Answer 2

Check each set of numbers:
1. Do they multiply out to 36?
2. Do they add up to -20?

If they do both then you have your answer. Does that make sense?

Answer 3

Yep. Thanks a lot Shadow. I got this.

Answer 4

No problem.

Answer 5

C.

Answer 6

Just for future knowledge, to know how I translated it. A factor pair is just two numbers derived from another number, that when multiplied, equal that number.

3 and 2 is a factor pair of 6

The sum is just the result of an addition problem

1 + 2 = 3

3 is the sum of 1 and 2

Answer 7

Correct, good job

Answer 8

Sweeet. Thanks a lot.
