Question

Consider the expression below. For (x - 6)(x + 2) to equal 0, either (x - 6) or (x + 2) must equal_________ . The values of x that would result in the given expression being equal to 0, in order from least to greatest,____ are___ and

Answer 1

For (x - 6)(x + 2) to equal 0, either (x - 6) or (x + 2) must equal 0 . The values of x that would result in the given expression being equal to 0, in order from least to greatest, -2 and 6

Explanation:

Given :(x - 6)(x + 2) =0

Solution :

The given equation :
`(x - 6)(x + 2)= 0`

This means either x-6 =0 or x+2=0

Now :

x-6 =0 or x+2=0

x=0+6 or x=0-2

x=6 or x= -2

Thus the values of x=6, -2

Hence For (x - 6)(x + 2) to equal 0, either (x - 6) or (x + 2) must equal 0 . The values of x that would result in the given expression being equal to 0, in order from least to greatest, -2 and 6

Answer 2

For (x - 6)(x + 2) to equal 0, either (x - 6) or (x + 2) must equal zero. The values of x would result in the given expression being equal to 0, in order from least to greatest, x are 6 and -2

Isolate the x
x - 6 = 0
x - 6 (+6) = 0 (+6)
x = 6

x + 2 = 0
x + 2 (-2) = 0 (-2)
x = -2

hope this helps
