Which is a solution to (x - 3) (x + 9) = - 27?

x = - 9

x = - 3

x = 0

x = 6

If you would like to solve (x - 3) (x + 9) = - 27, you can do this using the following steps:

(x - 3) (x + 9) = - 27

x^2 + 9x - 3x - 27 = - 27

x^2 + 6x - 27 + 27 = 0

x^2 + 6x = 0

x * (x + 6) = 0

1. x = 0

2. x = - 6

The correct result would be x = 0.
