Answer:

x = 1

x = -2

Explanation:

Hello!

We can solve the quadratic by factoring the equation.

Standard Form of a Quadratic:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Given our equation:
x^2 + x - 2 = 0

  • a = 1
  • b = 1
  • c = -2

Find two numbers that multiply up to "ac" but add up to "b". The two numbers are 2 and -1. Expand x into 2x and -1x.

Factor by Grouping


  • x^2 + x - 2 = 0

  • x^2 + 2x - x - 2 = 0

  • x(x + 2) -1(x + 2) = 0

  • (x - 1)(x + 2) = 0

Set each factor to 0 and solve for x:


  • x - 1 = 0\\x = 1


  • x + 2 = 0\\x = -2

The solutions for x are 1 and -2.
