What two numbers multiply to -144 and add up to -7?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -144 and add up to -7?"

The answer to your question is:

-16 and 9


Below we illustrate and prove that -16 and 9 multiply to -144 and add up to -7:

-16 × 9 = -144
-16 + 9 = -7

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

x2 - 7x - 144 = 0

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

(x - 16 ) (x + 9)

To summarize, since -16 and 9 multiply to -144 and add up -7, you know that the following is true:

x2 - 7x - 144 = (x - 16 ) (x + 9)
