What two numbers multiply to -749 and add up to 748?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -749 and add up to 748?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 749

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 749 multiply to -749 and add up to 748:

-1 × 749 = -749
-1 + 749 = 748

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

x² + 748x - 749 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 749)

To summarize, since -1 and 749 multiply to -749 and add up 748, you know that the following is true:

x² + 748x - 749 = (x - 1 ) (x + 749)
