Question

Use the zero product property to find the possible solutions to the equation x2 – 13x + 30 = 0.

Answer 1

x² - 13x + 30 = 0

Factorise:

(x - 3) (x - 10) = 0

Apply zero product property:

x - 3 = 0 or x - 10 = 0

Evaluate:

x = 3 or x = 10

Answer: x = 3 or x = 10

Answer 2

First we factor the equation, like this:

(x + 10)(x + 3)

Then we just find the answers, like this:

x = -10, x = -3.
