Respuesta :

2 and -16 are 2 factors that add up to -14
the answer is -2 and -16, 





as proven here:

-2 x 16 = -32
-2 + (16) = 14

Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?

x2 + 14x - 32 = 0 

If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:

(X - 2 ) (X + 16)

To summarize, since -2 and 16 multiply to -32 and add up 14, you know that the following is true:

x2 + 14x - 32 = (X - 2 ) (X + 16)
