There are no solutions to this equation.

Answer 1

To solve the quadratic equation \((x+6)(x-4)=0\) using the Zero Product Property, we set each factor equal to zero:

1. \(x + 6 = 0\)
2. \(x - 4 = 0\)

Now, we solve each equation:

1. For \(x + 6 = 0\): \[ x = -6 \]

2. For \(x - 4 = 0\): \[ x = 4 \]

Thus, the solution set is \({-6, 4}\).

The correct response is: The solution set is {-6, 4}.
