Answer 3

thank you for the answers, I am running out of time on this quiz and I have a few more to go.

Answer 4

i factorised it and gave the x values when its 0, (x+1)=0 when x+1=0, x=-1. same for the other one.

Answer 5

but how did you factorize it? like, how did you know it was going to be +1 and +10...

Answer 6

x^2+11x+10=0
x^2+10x+x+10
x(x+10)+1(x+10)
(x+1)(x+10)
x=-1 or x=-10
