Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 90 and add up to -21?"
The answer to your question is:
-15 and -6
Below we illustrate and prove that -15 and -6 multiply to 90 and add up to -21:
-15 × -6 = 90
-15 + -6 = -21
Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?
x2 - 21x + 90 = 0
If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:
(x - 15 ) (x - 6)
To summarize, since -15 and -6 multiply to 90 and add up -21, you know that the following is true:
x2 - 21x + 90 = (x - 15 ) (x - 6)
