What two numbers multiply to 730 and add up to -151?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 730 and add up to -151?"

The answer to your question is:

-146 and -5

Below we illustrate and prove that -146 and -5 multiply to 730 and add up to -151:

-146 × -5 = 730
-146 + -5 = -151

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

x² - 151x + 730 = 0

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

(x - 146 ) (x - 5)

To summarize, since -146 and -5 multiply to 730 and add up -151, you know that the following is true:

x² - 151x + 730 = (x - 146 ) (x - 5)
