An example of a one step equation would be 5+5=10
But equations with more than one step would be like: find the sum of 5+5 and then find 50% of the sum of 5+5
Answer: x=9,-1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we are gonna start out with finding two numbers that multiply to equal -9 and add up to equal -8
Those numbers would be -9 & 1
-9+1=-8
-9x1=-9
Now we have
(x-9)(x+1)
x-9=0 x+1=0
+9 +9 -1 -1
x=9 x=-1
