You can put this solution on YOUR website!
just reverse the process..if you have x=1 then what does it take to get x to equal zero.....subtract 1 from each side..x-1=0 do the same for x=-8...only this time you have to add 8...x+8=0\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so we have \"%28x-1%29%28x%2B8%29=0\" or\"x%5E2%2B8x-x-8=0\" or \"x%5E2%2B7x-8=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
