Question

how to solve (m+8)(m-2)=0

Answer 1

\[(m+8)(m-2)=0 \] explain how to please

Answer 2

One of those terms equals zero, because no non-zero numbers multiply to give zero. The solutions are given by setting each term equal to zero and solving the resulting simple equations.

Answer 3

I don't really remember F.O.I.L but I know that I can use it

Answer 4

You don't need FOIL, just set each term equal to zero and solve for m.

Answer 5

if I set each term to equal zero, I get two answers, do I just combine these answers so I'd get -6 ?

Answer 6

well?

Answer 7

No, each answer is a separate solution.

Answer 8

solve for m?

Answer 9

m= -8
m= 2

Answer 10

0 = m + 8 Solve.

0= m - 2 Solve.

Answer 11

\[(m+8)= 0 \]
\[m = -8\]
-------------------
\[(m-2)=0\]
\[m = 2\]

Answer 12

alright

Answer 13

You got it? :)

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

mm kay :))

Answer 16

can you also help me solve another one?

Answer 20

Yuppers @Numb3r1 :))

Answer 21

@isaacme What the heck? :P

Answer 22

lol ikr

Answer 23

e.cciuba i use this rule deta=b²-4ac for solve kind of this equation
ax+by+c =0

Answer 24

The tops correct, but wats w/ the last part?

Answer 25

lol no i use two ways.. just give him how to solve when be this formula ax²+by+c
and will get the same answer.

no faut : deta=b²-4ac=sqrt{100}

\[m=\frac{ -6+\sqrt{100} }{ 2}=2 and m2=\frac{ -6-\sqrt{100} }{ 2}=8\]

Answer 26

mmm kay! :))
