What two numbers multiply to -95 and add up to 94?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -95 and add up to 94?"

The answer to your question is:

-1 and 95

Below we illustrate and prove that -1 and 95 multiply to -95 and add up to 94:

-1 × 95 = -95
-1 + 95 = 94

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

x² + 94x - 95 = 0

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

(x - 1 ) (x + 95)

To summarize, since -1 and 95 multiply to -95 and add up 94, you know that the following is true:

x² + 94x - 95 = (x - 1 ) (x + 95)
