Question

What is the solution for x²-5x-6 ?​

Answer 1

Factor the equation

x+1(x-6)

Solutions : -1, 6

Answer 2

(x - 6)(x + 1)

Explanation:

This can factor. You need two numbers that multiply to -6 and add to - 5.

- 5 is a pretty big result which means that the two factors that fit are - 6 and 1

(x + 6)(x - 1) or

(x - 6)(x + 1)

It looks like the second one is the answer.
