Question

solve the equation.

\\(x + 5)(x + 15) = 0\\

\\(x = \\) (use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: factoring and solving quadratic equations

Step 1: Apply the Zero Product Property

$$ (x + 5)(x + 15) = 0 $$

$$ x + 5 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x + 15 = 0 $$

Step 2: Solve for x

$$ x = -5 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -15 $$

Answer:

-5, -15
