The answer to your question is:

-40 and 10


Below we illustrate and prove that -40 and 10 multiply to -400 and add up to -30:

-40 × 10 = -400
-40 + 10 = -30

Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?

x2 - 30x - 400 = 0

If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:

(x - 40 ) (x + 10)

To summarize, since -40 and 10 multiply to -400 and add up -30, you know that the following is true:

x2 - 30x - 400 = (x - 40 ) (x + 10)
