How to Factorise (x^2 + 5x + 6)

To factorise the quadratic expression (x^2 + 5x + 6), we need to find two numbers that multiply to 6 and add up to 5, which are 2 and 3. Then, we can rewrite the expression as ((x + 2)(x + 3)).

In South Africa, Grade 8 students learn this method as part of algebraic factorisation. Understanding this process is essential for solving more complex equations in higher grades.

By applying this method, we can factorise quadratic expressions and solve equations with ease.

Remember, practice makes perfect!
