If an equation has no solution like (x-10)(x+3)=0, then would the answer to write down be " no solution, x=/=10 and x=/=-3 ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that the equation you have? y = (x-10)(x+3) ?

OpenStudy (beth12345):

oh! no its (x-10)(x+3)=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok. Well if that's the case, then technically x=10 and x=-3 are the solutions! It's almost like you are looking for x-intercepts.

OpenStudy (beth12345):

i dont really understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well if x=10 or x=-3, then you are making the statement true, so therefore they are the solutions of your equation.

OpenStudy (beth12345):

ok

OpenStudy (beth12345):

thanks

OpenStudy (beth12345):

oh! wait, so does this equation not have no solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (beth12345):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. It doesn't have no solution.

OpenStudy (beth12345):
