• A.

  x = 7 only

• B.

  x = 0 only

• C.

  x = 0 and 7

• D.

  There is no real answer for this equation.

• A.

  Yes, she factored correctly and then used the zero product property

• B.

  No, she didn't factor correctly so the rest of her work is wrong.

• C.

  No, she did not set the equation equal to zero before factoring.

• D.

  Yes, she answered it correctly.

Find all the solutions for x when

x² + 9x - 36 = 0

• A.

  (x + 12)(x - 3)

• B.

  x = 12 and x = -3

• C.

  x = -12 and x = 3

• D.

Solve 2x² - 7x + 6 = 0 by factoring

• x = -3/2 and x = -2

• x = -3 and x = -2

• x = 3 and x = 2

• x = 3/2 and x = 2
