ax^2+bx+c=0
find what 2 number multiply to c and add to b
what 2 numbers multiply to 6 and add to 5
2 and 3
(x+2)(x+3)=0
set to zero
x+2=0
x=-2
x+3=0
x=-3
x=-2 or -3

other one
for ax^2+bx+c=0
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}

we are given
x^2+7x+11=0
a=1
b=7
c=11

sub
x=\frac{-7+/- \sqrt{7^{2}-4(1)(11)} }{2(1)}
x=\frac{-7+/- \sqrt{49-44} }{2}
x=\frac{-7+/- \sqrt{5} }{2}
x=\frac{-7+ \sqrt{5} }{2} or \frac{-7- \sqrt{5} }{2}
