Question

What are the solutions to the equation 3(x – 4)(x + 5) = 0?

Answer 1

first you distribute the 3
(3x-12) (x+5)=0
then you set each equation equal to zero
3x-12=0 & x+5=0
then you solve for x
x =4, -5

Answer 2

Answer:

-5, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the solutions to the equation $3(x - 4)(x + 5) = 0$

To solve for x we set each factor =0 and solve for x

$3(x-4)=0$

divide each term by 3

$(x-4)=0$

Add 4 on both sides

$x=4$

$x+5=0$

Subtract 5 on both sides

$x=-5$

So x values are -5 and 4
