What is x in x^2-x-6=0 pls

Step-by-step explanation:

What is x in x^2-x-6=0 pls

x^2 - x - 6 = 0

x + 2 * x - 3 = 0

x + 2 = 0

x - 3 = 0

x = 2 or -3

x= -2 or x= 3

Explanation:

the factors of -6 which sum to -1 are -3 and + 2

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

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = −2

x − 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

= 5

step-by-step explanation:

to find the 15th term substitute n = 15 into the nth term formula

= (- 3 × 15 ) + 50 = - 45 + 50 = 5
