Answer:
x₁ = -17 x₂ = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
First we equal the equation to zero and simplify it
x² + 9x +44 - 180 = 0
x² + 9x - 136 = 0
Then, we look for to numbers that if we add them the result is +9 and if we multiply then the result is -136.
This numbers are 17 and -8
Then, we write the equation as a factors of two terms
(x+17) (x-8) = 0
and we equal if term to zero
x₁ + 17 = 0
x₁ = -17
x₂ -8 = 0
x₂ = 8
