Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -261 and add up to -84?"

The answer to your question is:

-87 and 3


Below we illustrate and prove that -87 and 3 multiply to -261 and add up to -84:

-87 × 3 = -261
-87 + 3 = -84

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

x2 - 84x - 261 = 0

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

(x - 87 ) (x + 3)

To summarize, since -87 and 3 multiply to -261 and add up -84, you know that the following is true:

x2 - 84x - 261 = (x - 87 ) (x + 3)
