What two numbers can be multiplied to get positive 48 and added to get - 14?

A * b = 48

a + b = - 14 ... a = - 14 - b

b (-14 - b) = 48

-b^2 - 14b = 48

b^2 + 14b + 48 = 0

(b + 6) (b + 8) = 0

b + 6 = 0

b = - 6

b + 8 = 0

b = - 8

so ur 2 numbers are : - 6 and - 8

Answer

-8 and - 6

multiplied : - 6 x - 8 = 48

added: - 6 + (-8) = - 14
