Answer:

-6 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To have the least possible sum, what does it mean? It means closest to 0, or less than it.

You can add a negative number by another negative number, and you may get a negative result. And if you multiply a negative times a negative, you get a positive result

-6 * -2 = 12

-6 + -2 = -6 - 2 = -8

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!
