Question

What number can multiply to 8 but add up to 12

Answer 1

Its 2 and 6
2*6=12
2+6=8

Answer 2

I don't think the numbers exist. 6 and 2 don't work because 6 * 2 does not equal 8. If you were solving a quadratic equation by factoring and you needed to find the two numbers, and you can't find them, you can solve the quadratic equation by using the quadratic formula.
