Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 6 and add up to 5?"

The answer to your question is:

2 and 3


Below we illustrate and prove that 2 and 3 multiply to 6 and add up to 5:

2 × 3 = 6
2 + 3 = 5

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

x2 + 5x + 6 = 0

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

(x + 2 ) (x + 3)

To summarize, since 2 and 3 multiply to 6 and add up 5, you know that the following is true:

x2 + 5x + 6 = (x + 2 ) (x + 3)
