Plug in -2 where the x is and -3 where the m's are 
xm becomes -2*-3 which equals 6 and 2m becomes 2*-3 which equals -6
now we have the equation 6-(-6) which we could turn into 6+6
so the answer is 12, the person who said 0 made a mistake.
when subtracting a negative from a positive, you will always get a positive<span />

Xm-2m
(-2)(-3)-2(-3)
12

The equation can be simplified to 12. I'm not sure how you got 0, but at a guess, you messed up your signs when multiplying. Hope this helps!

Which equation is true for x = –6 and x = 2?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

x^2+4x-12=0

Step-by-step explanation:

If a equation has two zeros x=a and x=b then equation can be written as

(x-a)(x-b)=0

similarly if a equation has two zeros at x = −6 and x = 2

then equation can be written as

(x+6)(x-2)=0

x^2+6x-2x-12=0

x^2+4x-12=0

Therefore x^2+4x-10 is required equation
