What two numbers multiply to -949 and add up to 948?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -949 and add up to 948?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 949

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 949 multiply to -949 and add up to 948:

-1 × 949 = -949
-1 + 949 = 948

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

x² + 948x - 949 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 949)

To summarize, since -1 and 949 multiply to -949 and add up 948, you know that the following is true:

x² + 948x - 949 = (x - 1 ) (x + 949)
