What two numbers multiply to 146 and add up to 75?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 146 and add up to 75?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 73

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 73 multiply to 146 and add up to 75:

2 × 73 = 146
2 + 73 = 75

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

x² + 75x + 146 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 73)

To summarize, since 2 and 73 multiply to 146 and add up 75, you know that the following is true:

x² + 75x + 146 = (x + 2 ) (x + 73)
