Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -168 and add up to -17?"

The answer to your question is:

-24 and 7


Below we illustrate and prove that -24 and 7 multiply to -168 and add up to -17:

-24 × 7 = -168
-24 + 7 = -17

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

x2 - 17x - 168 = 0

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

(x - 24 ) (x + 7)

To summarize, since -24 and 7 multiply to -168 and add up -17, you know that the following is true:

x2 - 17x - 168 = (x - 24 ) (x + 7)
