Solved by pluggable solver: Find A Quadratic Equation Given The Solutions

$\"x=-6\"$ or $\"x=-1\"$ Start with the given solutions.

$\"x%2B6=0\"$ or $\"x%2B1=0\"$ Get everything to one side so that only 0 remains on the right side (for both equations).

$\"%28x%2B6%29%28x%2B1%29=0\"$ Use the zero product property to combine the equations.

$\"x%5E2%2B7x%2B6=0\"$ FOIL out the left side.

So the answer is $\"x%5E2%2B7x%2B6=0\"$

To check your work, simply solve $\"x%5E2%2B7x%2B6=0\"$ for x. Doing so will show you that the solutions are $\"x=-6\"$ or $\"x=-1\"$ , which confirm the answer.
