Question

x^2+5x=-6
it is a quadratic equation please help.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3        ;      x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 5x = -6

x² + 5x + 6 = 0

Using splitting the middle term.

x² + 3x + 2x + 6 = 0

x(x + 3) + 2(x + 3) = 0

(x + 3)(x + 2) = 0

x + 3 = 0    ;    x + 2 = 0

x = -3              x = -2
