Emmanuel Garrett · Answer 1

x = - 8, 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 6) (x + 8) = 0

Either factor can be zero:

x - 6 = 0 gives x = 6 and

x + 8 = 0 gives x = - 8.

Pablo · Answer 2

x = - 8, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x - 6) (x + 8) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8
