Find 168 divided by 3
168 / 3 = 56
3 x 56 = 168
Find - 59 plus - 3
- 56 + (- 3) = - 59
The answers are - 3 and - 56.

168
= 2 * 84
= 2 * 2 * 42
= 2 * 2 * 2 * 21
= 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 7
Try multiplying different combinations of those numbers.
The one that works is: 2*2*2*7=56 and the 3
-56 * -3 = 168
-56 + (-3) = -59
Answer: -56 and -3
- Anonymous9 years ago
-56*-3=168
and
-56+ -3=-59
So the two numbers are -56 and -3

a + b = 3 and a*b = -4 b = 3 - a ==> a(3 - a) = -4 ==> 3a - a^2 = -4 ==> a^2 - 3a - 4 = 0 ==> a^2 + a - 4a - 4 = 0 ==> a(a + a million) - 4(a + a million) = 0 ==> (a - 4)(a + a million) = 0 So a = 4 or -a million and b = -a million or 4
