What two numbers multiply to -238 and add up to -3?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -238 and add up to -3?"

The answer to your question is:

-17 and 14


Below we illustrate and prove that -17 and 14 multiply to -238 and add up to -3:

-17 × 14 = -238
-17 + 14 = -3

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

x2 - 3x - 238 = 0

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

(x - 17 ) (x + 14)

To summarize, since -17 and 14 multiply to -238 and add up -3, you know that the following is true:

x2 - 3x - 238 = (x - 17 ) (x + 14)
