What two numbers multiply to -142 and add up to -69?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -142 and add up to -69?"

The answer to your question is:

-71 and 2


Below we illustrate and prove that -71 and 2 multiply to -142 and add up to -69:

-71 × 2 = -142
-71 + 2 = -69

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

x2 - 69x - 142 = 0

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

(x - 71 ) (x + 2)

To summarize, since -71 and 2 multiply to -142 and add up -69, you know that the following is true:

x2 - 69x - 142 = (x - 71 ) (x + 2)
