What two numbers multiply to -295 and add up to 294?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -295 and add up to 294?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 295

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 295 multiply to -295 and add up to 294:

-1 × 295 = -295
-1 + 295 = 294

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

x² + 294x - 295 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 295)

To summarize, since -1 and 295 multiply to -295 and add up 294, you know that the following is true:

x² + 294x - 295 = (x - 1 ) (x + 295)
