Question

Solve for .
Write the smaller solution first, and the larger solution second.
(x+6)(-x+1) = 0
smaller r =
larger x =

Answer 1

Answer:

x = - 6, x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

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

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

smaller = - 6 and larger = - 1
