Question

What factors multiply to -80 and add to 6

Answer 1

80 = -1(80), -2(40), -4(20), -5(4),

Total answers include: -81, 79, -42, 16, -9, and 1.

None of them add up to 6!

Are you doing polynomial equations?

If so, you can solve it the hard way.

x^2 + 6x -80 = 0

(x^2 + 6x + 9) - 80 = 9

(x+3)^2 = 89

(x+3) = 9.43

x = 6.43

If you're not doing those then I'm afraid your question has no answer.

Hope that helps!
