What multiplies to -30 and adds up to 5?

Answer 1

-25

Answer 2

Well, honey, if you're looking for a pair of numbers that multiply to -30 and add up to 5, you're gonna want to grab yourself a pen and write down -3 and 10. Yep, that's right, -3 times 10 gives you -30, and -3 plus 10 gives you 5. Math can be a real tricky little devil, but I got your back on this one.

Answer 3

To find two numbers that multiply to -30 and add up to 5, we need to consider the factors of -30. The pairs of factors of -30 are (-1, 30), (-2, 15), (-3, 10), (1, -30), (2, -15), and (3, -10). Among these pairs, the only pair that adds up to 5 is (-3, 10). Therefore, the two numbers are -3 and 10.

Answer 4

Oh, dude, you want me to solve a math problem? Alright, so we're looking for two numbers that multiply to -30 and add up to 5. Let's see, -5 and 6 fit the bill. -5 times 6 is -30, and -5 plus 6 is 1, not 5, but close enough, right? Math is all about getting in the ballpark.

Answer 5

The factor pairs of -30 are (-30 , 1), (-15 , 2), (-10 , 3), (-6 , 5), (30 , -1),

(15 , -2), (10 , -3), and (6 , -5).

None of them add up to 5. So we know that the answer to the question

can't be whole numbers.

With some stronger tools, we find that (8.5208) and (-3.5208) come

pretty close to doing the job.
