you're able to separate THE NUMBERS FROm the x`s . 2 squared =4 .ie 2x2=4 ok , to get the numbers on one area and x ,on the different first get rid of the +3 from the two factors. So, 2 sqared (or 4)+5x=-3. next.. now you're able to get the +4 onto the different area with the help of taking it far flung from the two factors. So +5x =-3 get rid of -4 , So +5x= -7 to confirm what one x = you're able to divide the -7 with the help of 5x , to offer what one x equals. -7/5 = a million.4 So x=a million.4. ok thats quantity a million performed
that is the correct answer.
you KNOW that in order for the product of a multiplication problem to be zero, one of the factors must be zero.
(x); (x-2); and (x+3) are all factors of the problem.
One of them must equal zero.
therefore x must be 0,-2, or -3.
Since the equation is three multiplied terms, if any one of them is zero the equation equals zero. What makes it zero?
If x is zero then the equation is (0)(-2)(3) = 0.
If X=2 then (2)(0)(5) = 0
If X is -3, then (-3)(-5)(0) = 0
The problem is solved by what is called inspection.
When is X = 0? Obvious.
When is (X-2) = 0? Only if X = 2.
When is (X+3) = 0? Only if X = -3
I have a doctorate in Chemistry. I remember that learning about negative numbers in algebra was like fireworks going off. Algebra is really fun. That was the point that turned me into a fledgling scientist.
