@Mathmale @phi

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

u have to multiply and (anything)*0=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What

OpenStudy (mathmale):

(3)(–4)(x) = 0 can be re-written as -12x = 0. Does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

test the options lets take option B if u put x=0 then (3)*(-4)*(0)=0

OpenStudy (mathmale):

... or -12(0) = 0

OpenStudy (mathmale):

So, what is your conclusion?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Picky, picky me. I'd prefer to see ' 0 ' instead of ' B '. But yes, B is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh Thanks :D
