Simplify and either solve the quadratic equation by factoring or by general solution formula.

highlight%28x=%281%2B-+sqrt%2869%29%29%2F2%29

Know that the prime factorization for 69 is 3%2A23, so not much more you can do.

Hi I need help solving the this : (x+2)^2 — 5(x+3) +6=0 
If this is: %28x+%2B+2%29%5E2+-+5%28x+%2B+3%29+%2B+6+=+0, then it simplifies to: x%5E2+-+x+-+5+=+0. 

This cannot be factored so you need to use the quadratic equation formula or "completing the square" method to solve for x.
