Question

Factor the following, I will give 5 stars and thanks.

Answer 1

5)
`x=3,-1`

6)
`r=-6,-4`

7)
`p=2,3`

8)
`n=-4,8`

Explanation:

5)
`(x-3)(x+1)=0`

`(3-3)(-1+1)=0` substitute x for a number that will make the statement true.

6)
`(r+6)(r+4)=0`

`(-6+6)(-4+4)=0` substitute r for a number that will make the statement true.

7)
`(p-2)(p-3)=0`

`(2-2)(3-3)=0` substitute p for a number that will make the statement true.

8)
`(n+4)(n-8)=0`

`(-4+4)(8-8)=0` substitute n for a number that will make the statement true.
