Question

What is the answer to X squared plus 7X +6

Answer 1

(x + 1) (x + 6)

Explanation:

You first need to split the middle term into 2 numbers, and these numbers must be able to be added to create 7 and be multiplied to make 6.

`x^(2)` + 6x + 1x + 6

Then group:

(
`x^(2)` + 6x) (1x + 6)

Then take out the GCF (greatest common factor) of both groups:

x(x + 6) 1(x + 6)

Then put x and 1 together:

(x + 1)

And since there's 2 (x + 6), you can get rid of one of them, leaving you with:

(x + 1) (x + 6)
