I am not sure what they are asking for here and what it means. A brief explanation would really help me. Thanks! Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x(squared)-5x-6=0
X^2-5X-6=0 FACTOR THIS EQUATION.
(X-6)(X+1)=0 SET EACH FACTOR = TO 0 AND SOLVRE FOR X.
X-6=0
X=6 ANS.
X+1=0
X=-1 ANS.
X=(-1,6) ANSWER B).
