What x what equals - 288

What we first want is to find two factors of 288

We can divide by two, to get 2 and 144

We can divide by four, to get 4 and 72

To make a negative after multiplying numbers, we need at least one number to have a negative before it

- x - = +

+ x - = -

+ x + = +

Using the above information we can put together the following equations

-288 =

-72 x 4

-4 x 72

-2 x 144

-144 x 2

There are more answers to this question, just find factors of 288 and make sure one of them is a negative.
