Can anyone help me with this Algebra question?

Hey, I’m having trouble with understanding this math problem, 3x ( x + 4 ) = 0, could you please help me, and explain how you got the answer I’ve looked through notes but no luck.

Thanks!

Answer #1

what are the directions telling you to do?

We can’t do your homework it’s against the terms of use.

This looks like a homework question so we won’t anser it for you.

What values of x make the equation true? What values of X make the left side of the equal sign equal the right side?

Answer #7

Filletofspam: It’s not a homework question, I’m studying for an exam and looking through past papers and I didn’t know how to go about it. And I don’t understand you?

Lela: The directions just told me to : “Solve the equatiom” lol if that what you meant. I looked through my “distributive property” notes and it didnt have a similar question so I didn’t know where to begin I’d practice doing it but the answer came out all wrong! Unless I was looking at the wrong notes? lol

Thanks to lela though! =)
