Question

What are the solutions to the equation (x-2)(x + 5) = 0?

x=-2, -5
x=-2,5
x=2,-5
x=2,5

Answer 1

X= 2, -5. This is because 2-2 = 0. Therefore (0)(x+5)=0. As anything times 0 is 0. This applies as well for -5 as -5+5= 0. Therefore (x+2)(0)=0

Answer 2

Answer:x=2,-5

Explanation:

(X-2)(x+5)=0

X-2=0 or x+5=0

X=2 or x=-5
