What two numbers multiply to -12 and add up to 4?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -12 and add up to 4?"

The answer to your question is:

-2 and 6


Below we illustrate and prove that -2 and 6 multiply to -12 and add up to 4:

-2 × 6 = -12
-2 + 6 = 4

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

x2 + 4x - 12 = 0

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

(x - 2 ) (x + 6)

To summarize, since -2 and 6 multiply to -12 and add up 4, you know that the following is true:

x2 + 4x - 12 = (x - 2 ) (x + 6)
