You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x%5E2+-5x-6 factors into +%28x-6%29%28x%2B1%29+. Either factor will do, either the factor (x-6) or the factor (x+1). If you need extra help on factoring trinomials, see my Lesson Plans on this topic in algebra.com. Also, go to my website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com, look for "Basic Algebra", then "Samples from Basic Algebra: One Step at a Time," "Chapter 2". Also see my topic called "MATH IN LIVING COLOR" and click on Basic Algebra, the Chapter 2.
