Hey there, Lets solve this problem step by step.
First of all, set the given factor '(2 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve.
\(2 + x = 0\)
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2' to each side of the given equation.
\(2 + -2 + x = 0 + -2\)
Combine like terms:
\(2 + -2 = 0
0 + x = 0 + -2
x = 0 + -2\)
Ask: When will x(x−2) equal zero?
2. Answer: When x=0 or x−2=0
3. Solve each of the 2 equations above:
\(x=0,2\)
