What two numbers multiply to 255 and add up to -88?




Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 255 and add up to -88?"

The answer to your question is:

-85 and -3


Below we illustrate and prove that -85 and -3 multiply to 255 and add up to -88:

-85 × -3 = 255
-85 + -3 = -88

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

x2 - 88x + 255 = 0

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

(x - 85 ) (x - 3)

To summarize, since -85 and -3 multiply to 255 and add up -88, you know that the following is true:

x2 - 88x + 255 = (x - 85 ) (x - 3)
