What two numbers multiply to 50 and add up to 15?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 50 and add up to 15?"

The answer to your question is:

5 and 10

Below we illustrate and prove that 5 and 10 multiply to 50 and add up to 15:

5 × 10 = 50
5 + 10 = 15

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

x² + 15x + 50 = 0

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

(x + 5 ) (x + 10)

To summarize, since 5 and 10 multiply to 50 and add up 15, you know that the following is true:

x² + 15x + 50 = (x + 5 ) (x + 10)
