Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -975 and add up to -190?"

The answer to your question is:

-195 and 5

Below we illustrate and prove that -195 and 5 multiply to -975 and add up to -190:

-195 × 5 = -975
-195 + 5 = -190

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

x² - 190x - 975 = 0

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

(x - 195 ) (x + 5)

To summarize, since -195 and 5 multiply to -975 and add up -190, you know that the following is true:

x² - 190x - 975 = (x - 195 ) (x + 5)
