Question

Solve x² - 11x - 42 = 0

O x = -3 and 14
O x = -14 and 3
O x = -6 and -7
O x = 6 and 7 < Previous​

Answer 1

Answer: a = 1, b = -11, and c = -42.

Explanation:

The solutions to the equation x² - 11x - 42 = 0 are x = -6 and x = 7.

You can find the solutions by factoring the equation, or by using the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a.

In this case, a = 1, b = -11, and c = -42.
