Quadratic Equations by Factoring

Let's solve x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0 by finding two numbers that multiply to 6 and add to 5.

  1. Identify the pair: 2 and 3.
  2. Rewrite the expression: (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0.
  3. Set each factor equal to zero: x = -2 or x = -3.

Can you also show me how to solve the same question using the quadratic formula?
