What two numbers multiply to 90 and add up to 21?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 90 and add up to 21?"

The answer to your question is:

6 and 15

Below we illustrate and prove that 6 and 15 multiply to 90 and add up to 21:

6 × 15 = 90
6 + 15 = 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 + 6 ) (x + 15)

To summarize, since 6 and 15 multiply to 90 and add up 21, you know that the following is true:

x² + 21x + 90 = (x + 6 ) (x + 15)
