First: factor the equation:

(x + 1)(x + 6) = 0

Second: take both sets and equal them to "0" > solve for "x" >

x + 1 = 0
x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1
x = -1

x + 6 = 0
x + 6 - 6 = 0 - 6
x = -6

Assuming you mean X^2 + 7x + 6 = 0 then....

(x + 1)(x + 6) = 0
x = -1 or x = -6

If x is 0, find all the solutions including x.

So, 7x= 0
x2=0

Plug these things in-

0+0+6

Simple, the answer to this question is 6.

x^2 + 7x +6 = 0
x^2 +6x +x + 6 = 0
x(x+6) +1(x+6) =0
(x+6) (x+1) = 0
x+6 = 0 x+1=0
x=-6 x=-1
Answer: x= -6 and -1

x² + 7x + 6 = 0

(x + 6) (x + 1)

- - - - - -

Roots

x + 6 = 0

x + 6 - 6 = 0 - 6

x = - 6

- - - - - -

x + 1 = 0

x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

x = - 1

- - - - - - - -

X = - 6

or

x = - 1

x² + 7x + 6 = 0
(x+1)(x+6) = 0
D = 7² - 4.1.6
D = 49 - 24
D = 25

x = (-7 +/- 5) : 2
x' = (-7 + 5) : 2 = -1
x" = (-7 - 5) : 2 = -6
Thus,
{x elements of R | x' = -1 or x" = -6}

(x+6)(x+1)=0
x+6=0 or x=-6
x+1=0 or x=-1

* 2x + 7x + 6 = 0 (u'll transpose variables to the right)
* 2x + 7x = -6 + 0 (and non variable to the right)
* 9x = -6 (if u transpose any num. change the sign)
(divide both by nine)
x = -2/3

There are several ways to solve this,
quadratic formula, factoring, etc.

I suggest factoring.

(x+1)(x+6) jumps out right away

that means x=-1, and x=-6
