What two numbers multiply to -253 and add up to 12?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -253 and add up to 12?"

The answer to your question is:

-11 and 23


Below we illustrate and prove that -11 and 23 multiply to -253 and add up to 12:

-11 × 23 = -253
-11 + 23 = 12

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

x2 + 12x - 253 = 0

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

(x - 11 ) (x + 23)

To summarize, since -11 and 23 multiply to -253 and add up 12, you know that the following is true:

x2 + 12x - 253 = (x - 11 ) (x + 23)
