Answer

$$−9,-4$$

Work Step by Step

A quadratic equation of the form $$x^{2}+bx+c$$ can be factored as $$(x+x_{1})(x+x_{2}),$$ where $x_{1}+x_{2}=b$ and $x_{1}\times x_{2}=c.$ To solve $$x^{2}+13x=-36$$ Rewrite as $$x^{2}+13x+36=0$$ Factor $$x^{2}+13x+36=(x+9)(x+4)=0.$$ Hence, the solutions are $$x=−9,-4$$
