x2+9x+20=0
Let's observe that the given equation:
x2+9x+20=0is a quadratic equation that can be solved using quick factoring:
x2+9x+20=0⟷{?⋅?=20?+?=9↓(x+5)(x+4)=0and therefore we get two simpler equations from which we can extract the solution:
(x+5)(x+4)=0↓x+5=0→x=−5x+4=0→x=−4x=−4,−5Therefore, the correct answer is answer A.
x=−4,x=−5
