Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -948 and add up to -152?"

The answer to your question is:

-158 and 6

Below we illustrate and prove that -158 and 6 multiply to -948 and add up to -152:

-158 × 6 = -948
-158 + 6 = -152

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

x² - 152x - 948 = 0
