Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -664 and add up to 162?"
The answer to your question is:
-4 and 166
Below we illustrate and prove that -4 and 166 multiply to -664 and add up to 162:
-4 × 166 = -664
-4 + 166 = 162
Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?
x2 + 162x - 664 = 0
If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:
(x - 4 ) (x + 166)
To summarize, since -4 and 166 multiply to -664 and add up 162, you know that the following is true:
x2 + 162x - 664 = (x - 4 ) (x + 166)
