Respuesta :
first you distribute the 3
(3x-12) (x+5)=0
then you set each equation equal to zero
3x-12=0 & x+5=0
then you solve for x
x =4, -5
(3x-12) (x+5)=0
then you set each equation equal to zero
3x-12=0 & x+5=0
then you solve for x
x =4, -5
Answer:
-5, 4
Step-by-step explanation:
the solutions to the equation [tex]3(x - 4)(x + 5) = 0[/tex]
To solve for x we set each factor =0 and solve for x
[tex]3(x-4)=0[/tex]
divide each term by 3
[tex](x-4)=0[/tex]
Add 4 on both sides
[tex]x=4[/tex]
[tex]x+5=0[/tex]
Subtract 5 on both sides
[tex]x=-5[/tex]
So x values are -5 and 4
