Solution to Simulataneous Equations

Will I ever use algebraic factorization in real life?

In Lusaka, a young boy named Timo helped his mother sell tomatoes at the market.
One day, his teacher gave him this algebra problem:

x² + 5x + 6

Timo complained,
“Why do we even learn factorization?”
His mother smiled and arranged 12 tomatoes into groups:
2 × 6
3 × 4
“Life works the same way,” she said.
“Big problems become easier when divided into smaller parts.”
Timo realized factorization means breaking something complicated into meaningful groups.

He found two numbers that:
Multiply to make 6
Add to make 5
2 and 3
Therefore:
(x + 2)(x + 3)
∴ x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3)
That day, Timo discovered mathematics was not only in books —
It was already living in the markets, farms, and streets.
