Answer:

-1, -4

Step-by-step explanation:


x^2+4x+5=0

Factoring, you get:


(x+4)(x+1)=0

To find what x can be, you need to realize what could make this equation true. To set the left side equal to 0, either one of the terms in parentheses must be equal to 0. To do that, x must be the negative of the other term, so that they can cancel each other out. Therefore, x is -4 and -1. Hope this helps!
