What two numbers multiply to -120 and add up to 26?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -120 and add up to 26?"

The answer to your question is:

-4 and 30


Below we illustrate and prove that -4 and 30 multiply to -120 and add up to 26:

-4 × 30 = -120
-4 + 30 = 26

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

x2 + 26x - 120 = 0

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

(x - 4 ) (x + 30)

To summarize, since -4 and 30 multiply to -120 and add up 26, you know that the following is true:

x2 + 26x - 120 = (x - 4 ) (x + 30)
