Answer:

x = - 6, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by equating to zero

x² - x - 42 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 42) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 1)

The factors are - 7 and + 6 , since

- 7 × + 6 = - 42 and - 7 + 6 = - 1 , then

(x - 7)(x + 6) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7
