What two numbers multiply to -751 and add up to 750?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -751 and add up to 750?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 751

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 751 multiply to -751 and add up to 750:

-1 × 751 = -751
-1 + 751 = 750

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

x² + 750x - 751 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 751)

To summarize, since -1 and 751 multiply to -751 and add up 750, you know that the following is true:

x² + 750x - 751 = (x - 1 ) (x + 751)
