Answer :
Well, factors of 10 are:
1 and 10
and
2 and 5
Those don't add up to three. However, if it was -10, then 5 and -2 would add up to three.
1 and 10
and
2 and 5
Those don't add up to three. However, if it was -10, then 5 and -2 would add up to three.
There are no real numbers that can do that job.
The numbers are
1.5 + i √7.75
and
1.5 - i √7.75
These are called 'complex numbers'. The symbol ' i ' stands for √-1 .
==================================================
If either the ' 3 ' or the ' 10 ' was actually supposed to be negative,
then the two numbers would be 2 and -5 .
