what 2 numbers multiply to -16 and add to 6?
-2 and 8
(x-2)(x+8)=0

x-2=0
x=2

x+8=0

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "x = 2" and "x = -8"

Explanation:

Given equation is :

⇒ x²+6x-6 = 10

⇒ x²+6x-6-10 = 0

x²+6x-16 = 0

On factorizing the above equation, we get

⇒ x²-2x+8x-16 = 0

On taking "x" as a common, we get

⇒ x(x-2)+8(x-2) = 0

⇒ (x-2) (x+8) = 0

⇒ x-2 = 0

x = 2

Or,

⇒ x+8 = 0

x = -8

So, it's the right answer
