Answer 1

• x = -2
• x = -3

Explanation:

`\bf {x}^(2) + 5x + 6 = 0`

Write the equation in factored form.

`\bf (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0`

Separate equations, and set each factor to zero.

`\bf x + 2 = 0`

`\bf x + 3 = 0`

Rearrange and isolate the variable to find the solutions

`\bf x = - 2`

`\bf x = - 3`

------------------------------------

Answer 2

x=-3 x=-2

Explanation:

x^2 +5x+6 =0

We need to factor the equation

What two numbers multiply to 6 and add to 5

3*2 = 6

3+2 =5

(x+3)(x+2)

Using the zero product property

x+3 =0 x+2 =0

x=-3 x=-2
