Answer: x = -6, -1

Explanation:

Factor

(x+6)(x+1)=0

To get 0 out of multiplication, you must have one term equal 0. Thus, either x+6 or x+1 must equal 0. Thus, x = -6,-1

Hope it helps <3

Answer:

Factors : (x+1) , (x+6)

Solution : x = -1 or x = -6

Explanation:


x^2+7x+6 = 0

The left side of the equation can be factored.

Factor the left side.


x^2+1x+6x+6 = 0


x(x+1)+6(x+1)=0


(x+1)(x+6)=0

Set the factors equal to 0.


x+1=0\\x=-1


x+6=0\\x=-6
