Question

(x+a)(x+b)=0 then the value of x is

Answer 1

Answer:

(x+a)(x+b)=0

For the resultant RHS as 0, either (x+a) = 0 or (x+b) = 0, or both = 0. [Since, multiplication of any number with 0 = 0.]

=> x = - a or - b

So, we get values of x as -a, -b.

Answer 2

x = -a or -b

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+a)(x+b)=0

x + a = 0 , x + b = 0

x = -a, x = -b

x = -a or -b
