Question

Find the solution set. x^2+ 5x – 6=0

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -6, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x is singular, so using the easy method we can ask, "what two numbers multiply to -6 and add to 5?" the answer to that is +6 and -1. we simply place those numbers next to x in parentheses, and x = the opposites of those numbers (ex. opp of 3 is -3, opp of -7 is 7, etc.).
