Question

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

We are given

`(x-6)(x+2)=0`

step-1:

We can set each terms equal to 0

`(x-6)=0`

`(x+2)=0`

step-2: Solve for x

`(x-6)=0`

`(x-6+6)=0+6`

`x=6`

`(x+2)=0`

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

`x=-2`

so,

least value of x is -2

greatest value of x is 6............Answer
