Q. Find one value of x that is a solution to the equation:(3x+5)2+5(3x+5)+6=0x=□
Simplifying the equation: Let's first simplify the given equation by expanding the square and distributing the multiplication.(3x+5)2+5(3x+5)+6=0Expanding the square:(3x+5)(3x+5)+5(3x+5)+6=09x2+15x+15x+25+15x+25+6=0Combine like terms:9x2+45x+56=0
Expanding the square: Now we need to factor the quadratic equation9x2+45x+56=0.We are looking for two numbers that multiply to 9×56 and add up to 45.The numbers 9 and 56 have a product of 504, so we need two factors of 504 that add up to 45.After some trial and error, we find that 9 and 56 are the factors we need.So we can write the equation as:9×560
