Description

6 steps: (1) Solve x²+5x+6=0. (2) Factor the trinomial: (x+2)(x+3)=0. (3) Apply zero product property: x+2=0 OR x+3=0. (4) Solve each: x=-2 OR x=-3. (5) Check: (-2)²+5(-2)+6=4-10+6=0 ✓. (-3)²+5(-3)+6=9-15+6=0 ✓. (6) More complex: 2x²-7x+3=0 → (2x-1)(x-3)=0 → x=1/2 or x=3. Always: get to standard for
