Solve the following equation. Write your answer in reduced fraction form, if necessary.

Question

(x+3)(x−3)=0

Answer 1

To solve the equation (x+3)(x-3) = 0, we can set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:

x + 3 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

For the first equation, subtracting 3 from both sides gives:

x = -3

For the second equation, adding 3 to both sides gives:

x = 3

The solutions to the equation are x = -3 and x = 3.
