Answer: There are two solutions to X.. x = -3 and x = 2

Explanation:

In this case, a = 1, b = 1, and c = -6, so we have:

x = (-1 ± sqrt(1^2 - 4(1)(-6))) / 2(1)

x = (-1 ± sqrt(1 + 24)) / 2

x = (-1 ± sqrt(25)) / 2

The two solutions are x = (-1 + 5) / 2 = 2 and x = (-1 - 5) / 2 = -3. Therefore, the solutions to the equation X^2 + x - 6 = 0 are x = 2 and x = -3.
