    xy = - 360

    x + y = 9

    x + y = 9

    - x - x

    y = - x + 9

    xy = - 360

    x (-x + 9) = - 360

    x (-x) + x (9) = - 360

    -x^2 + 9x = - 360

    + 360 + 360

    -x^2 + 9x + 360 = 0

    -1 (x^2) - 1 (-9x) - 1 (-360) = 0

    -1 (x^2 - 9x - 360) = 0

    -1 - 1

    x^2 - 9x - 360 = 0

    (x + 15) (x - 24) = 0

    x = - 15 or x = 24

    The two numbers that multipky to - 360 and 9 are - 15 and 24.
