Question

Solve (x+1)(5x+6)=0
x=
or
x=

Answer 1

x = -
`(6)/(5)` , x = - 1

Explanation:

(x + 1)(5x + 6) = 0 ← in standard form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

5x + 6 = 0 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

5x = - 6 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = -
`(6)/(5)`

or

x + 1 = 0 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

x = - 1
