Question

What Is the first step in solving this quadratic equation

X^2+5x=6

A. Combine like terms
B. Set each factor equal to 0
C. Subtract from both sides to set the equation equal to 0
D. Factor

Answer 1

Explanation:

We need to move the 6 so that all three terms are on the left and only 0 is present on the right side: To do this, we (C) subtract 6 from both sides to set the equation equal to 0.

x^2 + 5x - 6 = 0
