Question

What do the solutions to the equation 0 = x2-x-6? Select two options

X=-3

X=-2

X=0

X=2

X=3

Answer 1

x = - 2, x = 3

Explanation:

Given

x² - x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form, then

(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
