What two numbers multiply to 738 and add up to -129?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 738 and add up to -129?"

The answer to your question is:

-123 and -6

Below we illustrate and prove that -123 and -6 multiply to 738 and add up to -129:

-123 × -6 = 738
-123 + -6 = -129

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

x² - 129x + 738 = 0

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

(x - 123 ) (x - 6)

To summarize, since -123 and -6 multiply to 738 and add up -129, you know that the following is true:

x² - 129x + 738 = (x - 123 ) (x - 6)
