What is the solution to the equation x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0?

-1
2
-2
1

The correct answer is: -1

The solution to the equation can be found by factoring the quadratic expression into two binomials (x + 2)(x + 1). By setting each binomial equal to zero, we can find the values of x that satisfy the equation. Therefore, the solutions to x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0 are x = -2 and x = -1. Option B and D are incorrect because they only represent one of the solutions, rather than both. Option C is incorrect because it does not account for the coefficient of x^2 in the equation.
