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

finance Now we have sale tax 7.6% for $22,346. 16

Therefore, we get

$\frac{7.6}{100} \times 22,346. 16=1698.31$

<h3>What is the amount that the credit union finance ?</h3>

credit union finance=cost of car+sales tax+the license and title charges.
