What two numbers multiply to -949 and add up to -60?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -949 and add up to -60?"

The answer to your question is:

-73 and 13

Below we illustrate and prove that -73 and 13 multiply to -949 and add up to -60:

-73 × 13 = -949
-73 + 13 = -60

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

x² - 60x - 949 = 0

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

(x - 73 ) (x + 13)

To summarize, since -73 and 13 multiply to -949 and add up -60, you know that the following is true:

x² - 60x - 949 = (x - 73 ) (x + 13)
