What two numbers multiply to -153 and add up to 8?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -153 and add up to 8?"

The answer to your question is:

-9 and 17


Below we illustrate and prove that -9 and 17 multiply to -153 and add up to 8:

-9 × 17 = -153
-9 + 17 = 8

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

x2 + 8x - 153 = 0

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

(x - 9 ) (x + 17)

To summarize, since -9 and 17 multiply to -153 and add up 8, you know that the following is true:

x2 + 8x - 153 = (x - 9 ) (x + 17)
