You have improperly worded your question.  It should properly be stated: &lt;i&gt;For which value&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;s&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. . . &lt;/i&gt;.


Factor the LHS:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (x\ +\ 3)(x\ -\ 3)\ =\ 0]


Which is true if and only if


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ +\ 3\ =\ 0]


Or


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ -\ 3\ =\ 0]


Solve the two equations for *[tex \Large x] to obtain the two elements of the solution set for the given equation.

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
