What is the solution for x²-5x-6 ?

Factor the equation

x+1(x-6)

Solutions : -1, 6

(x - 6)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

This can factor. You need two numbers that multiply to -6 and add to - 5.

- 5 is a pretty big result which means that the two factors that fit are - 6 and 1

(x + 6)(x - 1) or

(x - 6)(x + 1)

It looks like the second one is the answer.

i think it would be 42cm

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
