Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are -15 & 3.

Answer 2

Please mark as brainliest

Let the nos. be x and y

ATP

x+y=-12

or x=-12-y

and xy=-45

Substituting,

(-12-y)y=-45

-y²-12y=-45

y²+12y-45=0

y²+15y-3y-45=0

y(y+15)-3(y+15)=0

Either y=3 or y=-15

If y=3,

x+3=-12

x=-15

If y=-15

x+-15=-12

x=3

So the numbers are 3 and -15
