Question

X^2 +x-6=0 How to solve this ?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2, x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following quadratic equation and we are to solve it for x:

$x ^ 2 + x - 6 = 0$

We need to find such factors of -6 that when added give a result of 1 and when multiplied, give a product of -6.

$x ^ 2 + x - 6 = 0$

$x ^ 2 - 2x + 3x - 6 = 0$

$x ( x - 2 ) + 3 ( x - 2 ) = 0$

$(x-2) = 0, (x+3)=0$

x = 2, x = -3
