Question 581391: x2-5x=-6
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x² - 5x = -6
x² - 5x + 6 = 0 {added 6 to both sides}
(x - 3)(x - 2) = 0 {factored into two binomials}
x - 3 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 {set each factor equal to 0}
x = 3 or x = 2 {solved each equation for x}
