Answer:

X=0,-2

Explanation:

6 x ( x + 2 ) = 0 Divide each term in 6 x ( x + 2 ) = 0 by 6 . 6 x ( x + 2 ) 6 = 0 6 Cancel the common factor of 6 . x ( x + 2 ) = 0 6 Divide 0 by 6 . x ( x + 2 ) = 0 If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0 , the entire expression will be equal to 0 . x = 0 x + 2 = 0 Set the first factor equal to 0 . x = 0 Set the next factor equal to 0 and solve. Tap for more steps... x = − 2 The final solution is all the values that make 6 x ( x + 2 ) 6 = 0 6 true. x = 0 , − 2
