You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your original equation was
Set the quadratic equation equal to zero before you factor!
Subtract 6 on both sides:
From here you can factor: (x-6)(x+1)=0
x-6=0 and x+1=0
x=6 and x=-1
X can be equal to 6 and -1.
We should check to make sure!
Plug in the values of 6 and -1 for x.
Plug in 6:
This works!
Plug in -1:
This works!
Answer: x is equal to 6 and -1. I hope this helps! :]
