What two numbers multiply to 54 and add up to 29?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 54 and add up to 29?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 27

Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 27 multiply to 54 and add up to 29:

2 × 27 = 54
2 + 27 = 29

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

x² + 29x + 54 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 27)

To summarize, since 2 and 27 multiply to 54 and add up 29, you know that the following is true:

x² + 29x + 54 = (x + 2 ) (x + 27)
