What is the solution set for the quadratic equation x^2 + 6x = -5? I’m honestly confused and don’t know what to do. I don’t think the answer could be F {1} or J {-5} because it says sets. Which leaves me with G {-1,-5} and H{1,5}. Help?

1 answer

x^2 + 6x = -5
x^2 + 6x + 5 = 0
(x+1)(x+5) = 0
x=-1,x=-5

written as a set, {-1,-5}

What part confuses you?
