What two numbers multiply to -762 and add up to 379?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -762 and add up to 379?"

The answer to your question is:

-2 and 381

Below we illustrate and prove that -2 and 381 multiply to -762 and add up to 379:

-2 × 381 = -762
-2 + 381 = 379

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

x² + 379x - 762 = 0

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

(x - 2 ) (x + 381)

To summarize, since -2 and 381 multiply to -762 and add up 379, you know that the following is true:

x² + 379x - 762 = (x - 2 ) (x + 381)
