What two numbers multiply to 705 and add up to -146?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 705 and add up to -146?"

The answer to your question is:

-141 and -5

Below we illustrate and prove that -141 and -5 multiply to 705 and add up to -146:

-141 × -5 = 705
-141 + -5 = -146

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

x² - 146x + 705 = 0

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

(x - 141 ) (x - 5)

To summarize, since -141 and -5 multiply to 705 and add up -146, you know that the following is true:

x² - 146x + 705 = (x - 141 ) (x - 5)
