(a + 1) (a + 8) = 0

a^2 + 8a + a + 8 = 0
a^2 + 9a + 8 = 0
a^2 + a + 8a + 8 = 0
a (a + 1) + 8 (a + 1) = 0
(a + 1) (a + 8) = 0

a + 1 = 0
a = -1

a + 8 = 0
a = -8

How to solve for X: X-B=A
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x−a)(x−b)=x2−(a+b)x+ab

Now, this with the third bracket.

(x2−(a+b)x+ab)(x−c)=x3−(a+b+c)x2+(ac+bc+ab)x−abc

But there’s another way to do this, which is easier. Assume the given expression is equal to 0, then, we can form a cubic equation as

x3−(sum−of−roots)x2+(product−of−roots−taken−two−at−a−time)x−(product−of−roots) , which is essentially what we got above.
