Answer: look below :))

Step-by-step explanation: To solve the equation X^2+x-6=0, we can use the Quadratic Formula:

X = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

where a = 1, b = 1, and c = -6.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

X = (-1 ± √(1 - 4(1)(-6))) / 2(1)

Which gives us:

X = (-1 ± √(1 + 24)) / 2

X = (-1 ± √25) / 2

So the solutions to the equation are:

X = ( -1 + √25) / 2 or X = (-1 - √25) / 2

X = ( -1 + 5) / 2 or X = (-1 - 5) / 2

X = 2 or X = -3

So the solutions of the equation X^2+x-6=0 are X = 2 and X = -3.
