If a(a + 5) = 6 and b(b + 5) = 6, where a ≠ b, then a + b =  Choose the most appropriate option:
A) −48  B) −5  C) 2  D) 46  E) 48
a(a + 5) = 6   =&gt; we have a = 1 or -6   also b(b + 2) = 6   =&gt; b = 1 or -6   given a ≠ b   1) when a =1, b= -6 and a + b = -5   1) when a = -6, b= 1 and a + b = -5   Answer choice −5
