Question

Solve for x using the zero product property. (x+3)(x+2) = 0

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-3 and x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are trying to find the two intersections points of the quadratic we solve for x.

x+3=0

 -3

x   =-3

Repeat to (x+2)

x+2=0

  -2

x    =-2

Answer 2

Answer:

x can be -3 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two binomials here (x+3) and (x+2). For the product to be 0, one (of both) have to be 0. For the first binomial to be 0, x must be -3. For the second to be 0, x must be -2.
