Two integers, n and p, have a product of -15. what is the largest possible sum of n and p

Hello!

So, to find the product of numbers, you multiply.

Here are some possible combinations of n and p :

Now, the question is asking for the largest possible sum of n and p.

So, we'll have to add up all of our combinations.

So, as you can see, -1 + 15 is the combination that can give us the greatest sum, which is 14.

Hope this was helpful. Have a great day! =￣ω￣=
