x = 0 and x = -8

Answer 2

how do you get it? i have to explain... could you do the whole math?

Answer 3

factor out an x
x(x+8)=0

Answer 4

that means either
x=0
or
x+8=0

Answer 5

in general if you have \[\large ab=0\]that means that either \[a=0\]\[b=0\]or both
this is called the zero-factor property, and is very important to know
