The Zero Product Property states that if the product of two factors is equal to zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.
So, in this case, we have:
(x-9)(x-8) = 0
Therefore, either (x-9) = 0 or (x-8) = 0, or both are equal to zero.
Solving for x, we get:
x-9 = 0 or x-8 = 0
x = 9 or x = 8
Therefore, the solutions to the equation are x = 9 and x = 8.
Use the Zero Product Property to solve the equation. (1 point)
(x-9)(x-8)=0
