Solve: x2 + 5x - 6= 0
A. -1, 6
B. 1, -6
C. -2, -3
D. 1,5

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve using factoring.

x²+5x-6=0

5 is the sum of the numbers, while -6 is their product.

Think: which two numbers add up to 5, but when multiplied, equal -6?

Those numbers are -1 and 6.

Now factor the polynomial:

(x-1)(x+6)=0

split into parts:

(x-1)=0

x-1=0

x=1

(x+6)=0

x+6=0

x=-6

So B

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6

-7/8

step-by-step explanation:

instead of subtracting you add the -6/8 and -1/8
