Question 1139908
(x - 5) * (x + 6) = 0


multiply these factors together using the distributive property to get:


x^2 + 6x - 5x - 30 = 0


combine like terms to get:


x^2 + x - 30 = 0


(x - 5) * (x + 6) = 0 is your solution.


that gets you x = 5 or x = -6.


either value of x makes x^2 + x - 30 = 0


when x = 5, x^2 + x - 30 = 0 becomes 25 + 5 - 30 = 0 which becomes 0 = 0 which is true.


when x = -6, x^2 + x - 30 = 0 becomes 36 - 6 + 30 = 0 which becomes 0 = 0 which is true.


your solution is x = 5 or x = -6.
