Answer:

x = -1

Explanation:

x² + 6x = -5

x² + 6x -( -5) = 0

  • Use the quadratic formula
  • Evaluate the exponent
  • Multiply the number
  • Subtract the number
  • Evaluate the square root
  • Multiply the number

x = (-x + 4)/2

  • Separate the equations

To solve for the unknown variable, separate into two equations: one with a plus and the other with a minus.

x = (-6 + 4)/2

x = (-6 - 4)/2

  • Rearrange and isolate the variable to find each solution

x = -1
