Question

How many solutions will each equation have?x^2+6x+5

Answer 1

To solve the quadratic equation, factor the expression and then clear x from each of the factors obtained.

`\begin{gathered} x^2+6x+5=0 \\ (x+5)(x+1)=0 \\ x+5=0 \\ x=-5 \\ x+1=0 \\ x=-1 \end{gathered}`

This equation has 2 solutions which are -5 and -1.
