Athaniel is using the quadratic formula to solve 0 = x2 + 5x - 6. his steps are shown below. what are the solutions to the equation? x = –1, 6 x = –6, 1 x = –22, 27 x = –27, 22

x = - 6 or x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given a quadratic equation in standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0

then the equation can be solved using the quadratic formula

• x = ( - b ± ) / 2a

x² + 5x - 6 = 0 is in standard form

with a = 1, b = 5 and c = - 6

x = (- 5 ± ) / 2

  = (- 5 ± ) / 2

  = (- 5 ± ) / 2

x = = = - 6

or x = = = 1
