What two numbers multiply to -905 and add up to -176?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -905 and add up to -176?"

The answer to your question is:

-181 and 5

Below we illustrate and prove that -181 and 5 multiply to -905 and add up to -176:

-181 × 5 = -905
-181 + 5 = -176

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

x² - 176x - 905 = 0

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

(x - 181 ) (x + 5)

To summarize, since -181 and 5 multiply to -905 and add up -176, you know that the following is true:

x² - 176x - 905 = (x - 181 ) (x + 5)
