How would I find the solutions to (x+3)(x-4)=0?

Question

It's been a long onth and a half.... and without any book (or any terms to look up) I wasn't sure how to go about doing this. If you have any links to a website explaining how to do this, that would be great too.

ok first set both things in parantheses equal to 0.

1) x+3 = 0

x= -3

2) x-4 =0

x=4

so the solution is -3,and 4

Answer 2

x=-3, x=4

-3 ignored

ans. 4

Google math homework help. You'll get lots of sites that help with algebra.

Use one that takes you through the steps, not just gives you the answer!!

Answer 4

for the product to be zero, either or both terms must be zero. should be easy from here on out......
