Factorization of - 126:
-1 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 7
No matter how we group these, because of the associative prop of multiplication, when we multiply them all together we will end up with - 126.
Now we need to draw two groups of these numbers that add to 5.
(-1 * 2 * 3) + (3 * 7) = (-6) + (21) = 15
This is too much, our groupings need to be closer together in value.
(-1 * 2 * 3 * 3) + (7) = (-18) + (7) = - 11
Getting closer to 0 ... let's shift off that low-value 2.
(-1 * 3 * 3) + (7 * 2) = (-9) + (14) = 5
The answer is - 9 and 14.
