Question

what are the solutions of the equation (x-3)(x+8)=0? how do you solve it???

Answer 1

zero property of multiplication

Answer 2

basically for
(x-3)(x+8) to be equal to zero

either (x-3) or (x+8) must be equal to zero

that means we can write 2 equations from it

x-3=0
&
x+8=0

now you just solve for the 2 different x's
