Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "x2" was replaced by "x^2".
Pull out like factors :
-x2 - 7x - 6 = -1 • (x2 + 7x + 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factoring x2 + 7x + 6
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +7x its coefficient is 7 .
The last term, "the constant", is +6
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 6 = 6
Step-2 : Find two factors of 6 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 7 .
-6 + -1 = -7
-3 + -2 = -5
-2 + -3 = -5
-1 + -6 = -7
1 + 6 = 7 That's it
Answer:
(x+6) (x+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 7x + 6
= x² + x + 6x +6
= x(x+1)+ 6(x+1)
= (x+6)(x+1)
