What two numbers multiply to 550 and add up to 61?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 550 and add up to 61?"

The answer to your question is:

11 and 50

Below we illustrate and prove that 11 and 50 multiply to 550 and add up to 61:

11 × 50 = 550
11 + 50 = 61

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

x² + 61x + 550 = 0

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

(x + 11 ) (x + 50)

To summarize, since 11 and 50 multiply to 550 and add up 61, you know that the following is true:

x² + 61x + 550 = (x + 11 ) (x + 50)
