Answer: x = 2, x = 3 ( whichever is m and whichever is n )
Step-by-step explanation: h
x^2 + 6x - 5 = 0
( x - 2 ) ( x - 3 ) you take the x^2 and you split it into separate groups
the negatives will give you a positive 6, but also a negative 5. you want to use multiples of 6 to add up to -5. so you do ( x - 2 ) and ( x - 3 ) and it doesn't matter what order you do the numbers!! both are negative trying to add up to a negative.
then you want to get x.
x - 2 = 0
add two to the 0 and x = 2
then the other x
x - 3 = 0
add the three to the 0 and x = 3
