What two numbers multiply to 770 and add up to -387?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 770 and add up to -387?"

The answer to your question is:

-385 and -2

Below we illustrate and prove that -385 and -2 multiply to 770 and add up to -387:

-385 × -2 = 770
-385 + -2 = -387

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

x² - 387x + 770 = 0

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

(x - 385 ) (x - 2)

To summarize, since -385 and -2 multiply to 770 and add up -387, you know that the following is true:

x² - 387x + 770 = (x - 385 ) (x - 2)
