What two numbers multiply to 745 and add up to -154?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 745 and add up to -154?"

The answer to your question is:

-149 and -5

Below we illustrate and prove that -149 and -5 multiply to 745 and add up to -154:

-149 × -5 = 745
-149 + -5 = -154

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

x² - 154x + 745 = 0

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

(x - 149 ) (x - 5)

To summarize, since -149 and -5 multiply to 745 and add up -154, you know that the following is true:

x² - 154x + 745 = (x - 149 ) (x - 5)
