Answer:
x = 3 or x = 2 or x = -1 or x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
((x - 3) (x - 2) (x + 1) (x + 5))/x = 0
Multiply both sides by x:
(x - 3) (x - 2) (x + 1) (x + 5) = 0
Split into four equations:
x - 3 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or x + 5 = 0
Add 3 to both sides:
x = 3 or x - 2 = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or x + 5 = 0
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 3 or x = 2 or x + 1 = 0 or x + 5 = 0
Subtract 1 from both sides:
x = 3 or x = 2 or x = -1 or x + 5 = 0
Subtract 5 from both sides:
Answer: x = 3 or x = 2 or x = -1 or x = -5
