Question

Factor completely.

x^2+5x+6


Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Explanation:

x² + 5x + 6

= x² + 2x + 3x + 6

= x ( x + 2 ) + 3 ( x + 2 )

= ( x + 2 ) ( x + 3 )

Hence factorized.

Answer 2

(x+3)(x+2)

Explanation:

x^2 + 5x+6

To factor this problem, we need to determine which two numbers multiply to 6 and add to 5

3*2 = 6

3+2 -5

(x+3)(x+2)
