What two numbers multiply to -195 and add up to 2?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -195 and add up to 2?"

The answer to your question is:

-13 and 15

Below we illustrate and prove that -13 and 15 multiply to -195 and add up to 2:

-13 × 15 = -195
-13 + 15 = 2

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

x² + 2x - 195 = 0

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

(x - 13 ) (x + 15)

To summarize, since -13 and 15 multiply to -195 and add up 2, you know that the following is true:

x² + 2x - 195 = (x - 13 ) (x + 15)
