What two numbers multiply to -151 and add up to 150?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -151 and add up to 150?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 151

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 151 multiply to -151 and add up to 150:

-1 × 151 = -151
-1 + 151 = 150

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

x² + 150x - 151 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 151)

To summarize, since -1 and 151 multiply to -151 and add up 150, you know that the following is true:

x² + 150x - 151 = (x - 1 ) (x + 151)
