Hehe I will help you!! \[x^2+5x=-6\] first get 0 on one side so add 6 to both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x^2+5x+6=(x+3)(x+2)=0\]
So x+3=0 or x+2=0. x=-3 or x=-2
OpenStudy (superhelp101):
\[x^2+5x+6=0\]
Then see what numbers multiply to get 6 and add to get 5.

Thank you very much. You guys are a lifesaver!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2 and 3 are wrong, it's -2 and -3 :)
OpenStudy (superhelp101):
Aw no problem! So the answers is x=-2 and -3 because you would set it equal to zero (x+3)(x+2)=0

OpenStudy (superhelp101):
