Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -968 and add up to 77?"
The answer to your question is:
-11 and 88
Below we illustrate and prove that -11 and 88 multiply to -968 and add up to 77:
-11 × 88 = -968
-11 + 88 = 77
Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?
x2 + 77x - 968 = 0
If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:
(x - 11 ) (x + 88)
To summarize, since -11 and 88 multiply to -968 and add up 77, you know that the following is true:
x2 + 77x - 968 = (x - 11 ) (x + 88)
