Answer:
the value of x is -4
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+2)(x+6)=x(x+5)
x² + 6x + 2x + 12 = x² + 5x
x² + 8x - 5x - x² = -12
3x = -12
x = -12/3
x = -4

Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
(FOIL method - A technique for distributing two binomials. The letters FOIL stand for First, Outer, Inner, Last. First)
Expand the polynomial using the FOIL method
(x+2)(x+6) = x² − 11x + 30
Multiply using the distributive property.
x(x+5) = x² + 5x
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
The final answer is x = -4
[For writing purpose:]
(x+2)(x+6)=x(x+5)
x² + 6x + 2x + 12 = x² + 5x
x² + 8x - 5x - x² = -12
3x = -12
x = -12/3
x = -4
(Hope this helps you!)
