Answer 2

Answer:

x= -6,1

Step-by-step explanation:

The Given Equation is $x^{2} +5x-6 =0$   ...............(i)

Now we Know that Quadratic formula is

$x = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$  ............(ii) and  

$x = \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$   ..............(iii)

In the given equation

a= 1 , b= 5 , c= -6

For the first value of x Putting these in equation (ii) gives

$x = \frac{-5+\sqrt{5^{2}-4(1)(-6)}}{2(1)}$

$x = \frac{-5+\sqrt{49}}{2}$

$x = \frac{-5+7}{2}$

$x = \frac{2}{2}$

x= 1

so one value of x = 1

Now for the second value we will put the values in eqaution (ii) which gives us

$x = \frac{-5-\sqrt{5^{2}-4(1)(-6)}}{2(1)}$

$x = \frac{-5-\sqrt{49}}{2}$

$x = \frac{-5-7}{2}$

$x = \frac{-12}{2}$

x= -6

so second value of x = -6

So the solution to equation is x= -6,1
