Answer:

-1 , -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first number and let y be the second number.

x * y = 6

x + y = -7

Let's first find the factor pairs of 6.

1, 6

2, 3

-1, -6

-2, -3

Now, we just need to take each factor pair and add them together and see which one equals -7.

1 + 6 = 7, so that is wrong.

2 + 3 - 5, so that is also wrong.

-1 - 6 = -7, so this is our answer (-2 and -3 added is -5, which is wrong).

Therefore, our answer is -6 and -1.
