The answer is
B. -2 and 3
Step-by-step explanation :
Given the expression
x²- 5x + 6 = 0
Firstly we need to find two numbers that when multiplied will give us the constant term 6, and when added will give us the 2nd term 5
These numbers are 3 and 2
Substituting 2x +3x for 5x
x²- (2x+3x)+ 6 = 0
x²-2x-3x+6=0
(x²-2x)-(3x+6)=0
Factoring we have
x(x-2)-3(x-2)=0
x-3=0, x-2=0
x=3, x= 2
