Hey there!
x = -1 or x = -8 ✅
To solve this equation, you have to use the zero product property.
↳ Ifa product of factors is zero, then at least one of its factors is zero.
Which means that either x + 1 = 0 or x + 8 = 0
⇒ x + 1 = 0
Subtract 1 from both sides :
⇒ x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1
⇒ x = -1
OR
⇒x + 8 = 0
Subtract 8 from both sides :
⇒x + 8 - 8 = 0 - 8
⇒x = -8
Therefore, x = -1 or x = -8.
