You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x^2+11x+10=0 = (x+10)(x+1)=0
(x+10)=0 (x+1)=0
-10 -10 -1 -1
x=-10 or x= -1
Answer: x= -10 or -1
You can plug the answers back into the equation and work it back through to make sure both answers work out and you can see that they do. Hope this helps! Good luck to you! :-)
