Q. Solve for x: (x+5)(x+1)=0. Write your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form. `x` =_______ `d`=____ or `x = d=` ______
Apply Zero Product Property: Apply the zero product property to the equation (x+5)(x+1)=0. According to this property, if the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.Set each factor equal to zero: x+5=0 and x+1=0.
Solve for x: x+5=0: Solve the first equation x+5=0 for x.Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate x: x=−5.
Solve for x: x+1=0: Solve the second equation x+1=0 for x.Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate x: x=−1.
Apply Zero Product Property: Apply the zero product property to the equation (d+5)(d+1)=0, which is similar to the first equation.Set each factor equal to zero: d+5=0 and d+1=0.
Solve for d: d+5=0: Solve the first equation d+5=0 for d.Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate d: d=−5.
Solve for d: d+1=0: Solve the second equation d+1=0 for d. Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate d: d=−1.
