What two numbers multiply to 135 and add up to 48?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 135 and add up to 48?"

The answer to your question is:

3 and 45

Below we illustrate and prove that 3 and 45 multiply to 135 and add up to 48:

3 × 45 = 135
3 + 45 = 48

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

x² + 48x + 135 = 0

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

(x + 3 ) (x + 45)

To summarize, since 3 and 45 multiply to 135 and add up 48, you know that the following is true:

x² + 48x + 135 = (x + 3 ) (x + 45)
