First, factor the quadratic trinomial -x² + 5x - 6.

We can rewrite it as -(x² - 5x + 6).

Now factor x² - 5x + 6. We need to find two numbers that multiply to 6 and add up to -5.

The factors of 6 are: 1, 2, 3 and 6.

We need to find two numbers whose sum is -5. The numbers are -2 and -3 because (-2) + (-3) = -5 and (-2) * (-3) = 6.<...
