A Correct answer
Explanation

Factoring x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0 gives (x+2)(x+3) = 0. The roots are x = -2 and x = -3.

AI explanation

To solve x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0 by factorization, we find two numbers that multiply to 6 and add to 5, which are 2 and 3. This gives the factors (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. Setting each factor to zero results in x = -2 or x = -3, making the statement True.
