Question

If one root of the quadratic equation x² -5x -6 is 6 then find the other root.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$given \: equation \\ = {x}^{2} - 5x - 6 = 0 \\ = {x}^{2} - 6x + x - 6 = 0 \\ = x(x - 6) + 1(x - 6) = 0 \\ (x - 6)(x + 1) = 0 \\ x = 6 \: or \: x = - 1 \\ therefore \: - 1 \: is \: the \: other \: root \: of \: the \: equation$
