What two numbers multiply to -68 and add up to 67?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -68 and add up to 67?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 68

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 68 multiply to -68 and add up to 67:

-1 × 68 = -68
-1 + 68 = 67

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

x² + 67x - 68 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 68)

To summarize, since -1 and 68 multiply to -68 and add up 67, you know that the following is true:

x² + 67x - 68 = (x - 1 ) (x + 68)
