Answer:

The solution to the equation (2x + 6)(3x – 6) = 0 is -3 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : (2x + 6)(3x – 6) = 0

We have to find the solution for the given equation using zero-product property.

Zero product property states that for any two number a and b the following holds,

$a\cdot b =0 \Rightarrow a=0 \ or \ b=0$

thus, Consider the given (2x + 6)(3x – 6) = 0

Apply zero product property, we have.

(2x + 6)= 0 or (3x – 6) = 0

Simplify, for x,

x = -3 or x = 2

Thus, The solution to the equation (2x + 6)(3x – 6) = 0 is -3 and 2

If we use the zero product property it basically means this: We have (2x + 6) (3x -6) = 0 Meaning that 2x + 6 = 0 AND 3x - 6 = 0 So now for each case solve for x :)

your answer is -3

Which polynomial identity will prove that 65 = 81 - 16

steposvetlana [31]

9^2 - 4^2 = (9 + 4)(9 - 4)
So the polynomial identity used here is
$(x + y)(x - y) = {x}^{2} - {y}^{2}$

The flag of a country contains an isosceles triangle. (Recall that an isosceles triangle contains two angles with the same mea

Mrac [35]

Let us start with the unknown. Let us give one of the base angles the value of x. The other base angle is also x since both the base angles in an isosceles triangle will be equal. The remaining angle is 40 more than three times one of the base angles.It is 3x + 40. Here we get the equation

x+x+3x+40=180

5x + 40 = 180

5x = 180 - 40 = 140

Therefore x = 140/5 = 28

So the angles are 28, 28 and 124.

The third angle is 3 times 28 + 40 = 84 + 40 = 124.

Dylan has two cubes of iron. The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube. He measures the smaller cube. It's mass is

Lelu [443]

Density $\rho$
is given by $\rho = frac{m}{V}$
where m is the mass of the object
V is the Volume of the object

let m1 be the mass of the smaller cube
let m2 be the mass of the larger cube

you know that the larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube
or m2=2*m1

so apply this information into the density equation and you can determine the volume of the larger cube
