What two numbers multiply to -815 and add up to -158?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -815 and add up to -158?"

The answer to your question is:

-163 and 5

Below we illustrate and prove that -163 and 5 multiply to -815 and add up to -158:

-163 × 5 = -815
-163 + 5 = -158

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

x² - 158x - 815 = 0

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

(x - 163 ) (x + 5)

To summarize, since -163 and 5 multiply to -815 and add up -158, you know that the following is true:

x² - 158x - 815 = (x - 163 ) (x + 5)
