Answer:
x = 5 , x = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
First we factor using factorisation method :
We need 2 numbers that multiply to give +1 and add to give -30 :
To find these numbers we write out all the factors of 30 :
1, 30
2 , 15
3 , 10
5 , 6 ----> These must be the numbers as -5+6 = 1
Now we split +x into -5x and +6x :
x² -5x + 6x -30 = 0
Factor the first 2 terms together and the last two terms :
x(x-5) + 6(x-5) = 0
Keep 1 bracket and terms outside the brackets collect them into one:
(x-5)(x+6) = 0
We know that 1 of these brackets must be equal to zero as anything multiplied by zero = 0
Either x - 5 =0 OR x + 6 = 0
So x = 5 x = - 6
These are our final answers
