Solve. x2 + 5x = -6
Hehe I will help you!! \[x^2+5x=-6\] first get 0 on one side so add 6 to both sides
\[x^2+5x+6=(x+3)(x+2)=0\] So x+3=0 or x+2=0. x=-3 or x=-2
\[x^2+5x+6=0\] Then see what numbers multiply to get 6 and add to get 5.
and my friend tom finished it off ;)
2 and 3
-2 and -3
well yes 2 and 3 is right. I'm soon sorry yy
Thank you very much. You guys are a lifesaver!!
2 and 3 are wrong, it's -2 and -3 :)
Aw no problem! So the answers is x=-2 and -3 because you would set it equal to zero (x+3)(x+2)=0
then 0-3 is -3 and 0-2 is -2
but 2 and 3 is correct when you answered my question: "Then see what numbers multiply to get 6 and add to get 5. "
yesss!! :))))))))))
Oh sorry @superhelp101, I completely missed your question! My bad.
no problem, no worries :)
