Question 2930: can you please solve this for me
x to the second power+6x+5=0

Answer by gsmani_iyer(201)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

= 0

= = 0

= = 0

= (x+1)(x+5) = 0

so as per the equation,

either (x+1) = 0 or (x+5) = 0

So x = -1 or x = -5.

The solution set is {-1, -5}. Answer


It is always not necessary to use the formula to solve such problems. It
can be factorised as above and find out the solution set unless you are
asked to solve by using the formula.
