To solve the quadratic equation x2+5x+6=0x^2+5x+6=0, we can factor the quadratic expression.

We are looking for two numbers that multiply to 6 and add up to 5. These numbers are 2 and 3.

So, we can factor the equation as:
(x+2)(x+3)=0(x+2)(x+3)=0

For the product of two factors to be zero, at least one of the factors must be zero.
Therefore, we set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:

x+2=0x+2=0
x=−2x=-2

or

x+3=0x+3=0
x=−3x=-3

The solutions for the equation x2+5x+6=0x^2+5x+6=0 are x=−2x=-2 and x=−3x=-3.
