Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to -976 and add up to -114?"

The answer to your question is:

-122 and 8

Below we illustrate and prove that -122 and 8 multiply to -976 and add up to -114:

-122 × 8 = -976
-122 + 8 = -114

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

x² - 114x - 976 = 0

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

(x - 122 ) (x + 8)

To summarize, since -122 and 8 multiply to -976 and add up -114, you know that the following is true:

x² - 114x - 976 = (x - 122 ) (x + 8)
