What two numbers multiply to -925 and add up to 180?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -925 and add up to 180?"

The answer to your question is:

-5 and 185

Below we illustrate and prove that -5 and 185 multiply to -925 and add up to 180:

-5 × 185 = -925
-5 + 185 = 180

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

x² + 180x - 925 = 0

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

(x - 5 ) (x + 185)

To summarize, since -5 and 185 multiply to -925 and add up 180, you know that the following is true:

x² + 180x - 925 = (x - 5 ) (x + 185)
