What two numbers multiply to -550 and add up to 45?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -550 and add up to 45?"

The answer to your question is:

-10 and 55


Below we illustrate and prove that -10 and 55 multiply to -550 and add up to 45:

-10 × 55 = -550
-10 + 55 = 45

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

x2 + 45x - 550 = 0

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

(x - 10 ) (x + 55)

To summarize, since -10 and 55 multiply to -550 and add up 45, you know that the following is true:

x2 + 45x - 550 = (x - 10 ) (x + 55)
