Either one at any given time could be equal to zero. So
x + 2 = 0
x = - 2

x - 18 = 0
x = 18

I've enclosed a graph of this so you can see that the answers I've given are the ones expected.

(x + 2) (x - 18) = 0
x + 2 = 0 or x - 18 = 0
x = -2 or x = 18

A kite has a height of 36 inches and a width of 30 inches. Explain how to use the area formula for a triangle to find the area o

mote1985 [20]

Height of the kite is = 36 inches.

Width of the kite is = 30 inches

One of the ways to find the area is to draw a vertical line to break the kite into two equal triangles. Mark the base as 36 inches and height as 15 inches .

Now we will use the formula $area=\frac{1}{2}*base*height$ to find the area of each triangle. Then we will add both the areas to find the area of the kite.
