Using the Zero Product Property, solve for the x-values given (x-2)(x+3)=0.

  x = 2 or -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The product will be zero when one of the factors is zero.

First factor:

  x - 2 = 0

  x = 2 . . . . . add 2 to both sides of the equation

Second factor:

  x + 3 = 0

  x = -3 . . . . .subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

The values of x that solve this equation are x = 2 and x = -3.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.
