What two numbers multiply to -750 and add up to -749?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -750 and add up to -749?"

The answer to your question is:

-750 and 1

Below we illustrate and prove that -750 and 1 multiply to -750 and add up to -749:

-750 × 1 = -750
-750 + 1 = -749

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

x² - 749x - 750 = 0

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

(x - 750 ) (x + 1)

To summarize, since -750 and 1 multiply to -750 and add up -749, you know that the following is true:

x² - 749x - 750 = (x - 750 ) (x + 1)
