Answer: x=9,-1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we are gonna start out with finding two numbers that multiply to equal -9 and add up to equal -8
Those numbers would be -9 & 1
-9+1=-8
-9x1=-9
Now we have
(x-9)(x+1)
x-9=0 x+1=0
+9 +9 -1 -1
x=9 x=-1
Answer:
x=1,--9
Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero x=1,--9
