Answer:
Compare x² + 6x + 5 = 0 with ax² + bx + c = 0 ,
a = 1 , b = 6 , c = 5
discreaminant ( D ) = b² - 4ac
D = 6² - 4 × 1 × 5
D = 36 - 20
D = 16
√D = ± 4 ---( 1 )
By Quadratic formula ;
x = [ ( -b ± √D )/2a ]
x = [ ( -6 ± 4 )/( 2 × 1 ) ]
x = ( -6 + 4 )/2 ] or x = ( -6 - 4 )/2
x = -2/2 or x = -10/2
x = -1 or x = -5

Using factorization method,
x^+5x+x+5=0
x(x+5)+1(x+5)=0
(x+1)(x+5)=0
Equating the factors to 0, we get,
x=-1 and x=-5, which are the roots of the equation.
