What two numbers multiply to 550 and add up to 65?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 550 and add up to 65?"

The answer to your question is:

10 and 55

Below we illustrate and prove that 10 and 55 multiply to 550 and add up to 65:

10 × 55 = 550
10 + 55 = 65

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

x² + 65x + 550 = 0

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

(x + 10 ) (x + 55)

To summarize, since 10 and 55 multiply to 550 and add up 65, you know that the following is true:

x² + 65x + 550 = (x + 10 ) (x + 55)
