Answer: (x+2)(x+3)

Explanation:

1) Try to simplify with the line method

List the multiplicative numbers for a and c.

x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0

1x-----------> 3

1x-----------> 2

3 + 2 = 5

Make sure the two numbers multiply-add to b

Afterward, flip the top and bottom numbers.

1x--------------> 2

1x--------------> 3

Put them into an equation.

(x+2)(x+3)
