$x = - 6 or x = - 1$ $x=-6" or "x=-1$

Explanation:

$using the a-c method$ $"using the a-c method"$

$the factors of + 6 which sum to + 7 are + 6 and + 1$ $"the factors of + 6 which sum to + 7 are + 6 and + 1"$

$\Rightarrow (x + 6) (x + 1) = 0$ $rArr(x+6)(x+1)=0$

$equate each factor to zero and solve for x$ $"equate each factor to zero and solve for x"$

$x + 6 = 0 \Rightarrow x = - 6$ $x+6=0rArrx=-6$

$x + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = - 1$ $x+1=0rArrx=-1$
