What two numbers add to 7 and multiply to 1044

It's not possible.

Thus, either use the Quadratic Formula, or look for a new method to find the solution.

Quadratic Formula:

.

Xy=1044
x+y=7

y=7-x
sub
x(7-x)=1044
7x-x^2=1044
0=x^2-7x+1044
use quadratice equaiton which is if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0 then
x=

ax^2+bx+c=0
1x^2-7x+1044=0
a=1
b-7
c=1044

x=

aprox
x=-3.5+32.120865492698i or
-3.5- 32.120865492698i 
where i=√-1

so the numbers are -3.5+32.120865492698i and
-3.5- 32.120865492698i 
where i=√-1

The answer will be y=-5+0 because the slope is -5 and the it has to go through y-axis 0
