Question

What are the solutions to the equation 3(x – 4)(x + 5) = 0?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=4 and x= - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this we should re-arrange the equation:

$(x-4)(x+5)=\frac{0}{3}$

This is equal to:

$(x-4)(x+5)=0$

Then we can seperate this into:

$(x-4)=0\\(x+5)=0$

So solving for x in both cases we get

$x-4=0 \\x=4\\And\\x+5=0\\x=-5$
