Factor x^2 + x - 6

(x - 2)(x + 3) = 0

Solve for x

Ask yourself; When will (x - 2)(x + 3) equal zero?

When x - 2 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

Then solve for each of the two equations above

x = 2, -3

Answer:

C. 2, -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + x - 6 = 0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -6 and add to 1

3*-2 =6

3-2 =1

(x+3) (x-2) =0

Using the zero product property

x+3 = 0        x-2 =0

x+3-3= 0-3    x-2+2 =0+2

x = -3      x =2
