Use the Zero Product Property to solve the following equation.
1. x(x + 3) = 18
x^2 + 3x - 18 = 0
(x+6)(x-3) = 0
x = -6 or x = 3
Thank you.
8 years have passed
Lol 8 years past and still dont have a answer
To solve the equation using the Zero Product Property, we need to set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.
First, we set x equal to zero:
x = 0
Next, we set (x + 3) equal to zero:
x + 3 = 0
Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation, we get:
x = -3
Therefore, the solutions to the equation x(x + 3) = 18 are x = 0 and x = -3.
