Answer:

x = -4 , x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 5x + 4 = 0

1) write 5x as a sum

x² + 4x + x + 4 = 0

2) factor out x from the expression

x ( x + 4 ) + x + 4 = 0

3) factor out x + 4 from the expression

( x + 4 )( x + 1 ) = 0

4) the product of factors equals to 0

i) x + 4 = 0

x = -4

ii) x + 1 = 0

x = -1

good job
