What two numbers multiply to 695 and add up to -144?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 695 and add up to -144?"

The answer to your question is:

-139 and -5

Below we illustrate and prove that -139 and -5 multiply to 695 and add up to -144:

-139 × -5 = 695
-139 + -5 = -144

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

x² - 144x + 695 = 0

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

(x - 139 ) (x - 5)

To summarize, since -139 and -5 multiply to 695 and add up -144, you know that the following is true:

x² - 144x + 695 = (x - 139 ) (x - 5)
