x + y = -4
x + y = -4
x - x + y = -x - 4
y = -x - 4
xy = 14
x(-x - 4) = 14
x(-x) - x(4) = 14
-x² - 4x = 14
-x² - 4x - 14 = 0
-1(x²) - 1(4x) - 1(14) = 0
-1(x² + 4x + 14) = 0

x² + 4x + 14 = 0
x = -(4) ± √((4)² - 4(1)(14))

x = -2 ± i√(10)
x + y = -4
-2 ± i√(10) + y = -4
- (-2 ± i√(10)) - (-2 ± i√(10))
y = -2 ± i√(10)
(x, y) = (-2 ± √(10), -2 ± √(10))
The two numbers that multiply to 14 and add up to -4 are -2 ± i√(10).
