B.x = –1
C.x = 1

Answer 1

B. x = -1

Answer 2

(-1)^2 + 6(-1) = 1 - 6 = -5

Answer 3

so is answer B correct?

Answer 4

actually, there are two solution for x, they're -5 and -1, but since -5 is not found on the options, therefor the answer will be -1

Answer 5

okay

Answer 6

(x+1)(x+5)

x=-1
x=-5

Answer 7

and I meant to set that equal to zero. So you get why there are those two solutions for x.
