What two numbers can you multiply to get -27 and add up to 3?

Answer 1

-24

Answer 2

Well, honey, it seems like you've got yourself a tricky little math problem on your hands. The two numbers you're looking for are 9 and -3. Why? Because 9 times -3 gives you -27, and when you add them together, you get 6, not 3. So, technically, the answer is 9 and -3, but you might want to double-check your math there, darling.

Answer 3

0.5*[3 - sqrt(117)] = - 3.908327

and

0.5*[3 + sqrt(117)] = 6.908327
