What two numbers multiply to 786 and add up to -137?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 786 and add up to -137?"

The answer to your question is:

-131 and -6

Below we illustrate and prove that -131 and -6 multiply to 786 and add up to -137:

-131 × -6 = 786
-131 + -6 = -137

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

x² - 137x + 786 = 0

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

(x - 131 ) (x - 6)

To summarize, since -131 and -6 multiply to 786 and add up -137, you know that the following is true:

x² - 137x + 786 = (x - 131 ) (x - 6)
