80 = -1(80), -2(40), -4(20), -5(4),
Total answers include: -81, 79, -42, 16, -9, and 1.
None of them add up to 6!
Are you doing polynomial equations?
If so, you can solve it the hard way.
x^2 + 6x -80 = 0
(x^2 + 6x + 9) - 80 = 9
(x+3)^2 = 89
(x+3) = 9.43
x = 6.43
If you're not doing those then I'm afraid your question has no answer.
Hope that helps!
I’d say option 4
However, one may think option 3 might be possible as well. But that it is not interacting, it’s affecting.
So I’d stick with option 4.
Good luck!
You may notice that all of the terms have a common factor: 
. So, let's take the out of all the terms. This gives us:
Using the Zero Product Property, we can say that both 
and 
.
Let's solve both. is obvious, but we still need to solve our other term:
- Apply the Zero Product Property
Our answer is x = -6, 0, 4.
