Answer:

x=-2,3

Explanation:

Since there are 2 x’s that are going to be multiplied together then it means there are 2 solutions because whatever the exponent number on the variable is is the amount of solutions.

To find both of them we split this is half to get both solution and set them both to 0

X-3=0

+3. +3

X=3

X+2=0

-2. -2

X=-2

The equation is given as


(x-3)(x+2)=0

This means that


\begin{gathered} x-3=0 \\ or \\ x+2=0 \end{gathered}

Solving each equation to get a value for x


\begin{gathered} x=3 \\ or \\ x=-2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 3 or x = -2
