Find the zeroes of the polynomial x2 + 5x + 6.

-1 and -6
-3 and -2
-3 and 2
1 and 6

The correct answer is: -3 and -2

The other options are incorrect because they do not satisfy the polynomial equation. Option A gives -1 and -6 as the zeroes, but these values do not result in a true statement when substituted into the equation. Option C gives -3 and 2 as the zeroes, but again, this does not satisfy the equation. Option D gives 1 and 6 as the zeroes, which also does not work for the equation. Therefore, B, with -3 and -2 as the zeroes, is the correct answer.
