Question

X(x+5)+6(x+5)=(x+5)(?) help

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -25/12 or x = -0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x+5)+6(x+5)=(x+5)

Distribute

x^2 + 5x + 6x + 30 = x + 5

Combine

x^2 + 11x + 30 = x + 5

Subtract 1x from both sides

x^2 + 10x + 30 = 5

Subtract 30 from both sides

12x = -25

Divide 12 on both sides

x = -25/12 or -0.2
