Question

What are the solutions to the equation (x – 2)(x + 5) = 0?

Answer 1

Answer: X = 2 or X = -5

Explanation:

(X - 2) x ( X - 5) = 0

X - 2 = 0 or X - 5 = 0

Therefore X=2 or X=5

Answer 2

x = 2 or x = -5

Explanation:

It s given that, (x – 2)(x + 5) = 0

To find the solution of given equation

Let (x – 2)(x + 5) = 0

From this we get

either (x – 2) = 0 or (x + 5) = 0

If (x - 2) = 0 then x = 2

If (x + 5) = 0 then x = -5

Therefore the solutions of given equation (x – 2)(x + 5) = 0 are,

x = 2 or x = -5
