What two numbers multiply to -224 and add up to 2?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -224 and add up to 2?"

The answer to your question is:

-14 and 16


Below we illustrate and prove that -14 and 16 multiply to -224 and add up to 2:

-14 × 16 = -224
-14 + 16 = 2

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

x2 + 2x - 224 = 0

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

(x - 14 ) (x + 16)

To summarize, since -14 and 16 multiply to -224 and add up 2, you know that the following is true:

x2 + 2x - 224 = (x - 14 ) (x + 16)
