How to solve x(x+2)(x-2)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$x(x+2)(x-2)$$

Evaluate

$x\left(x^{2}-4\right)$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $x$ by $x+2$.

$$\left(x^{2}+2x\right)\left(x-2\right)$$

Apply the distributive property by multiplying each term of $x^{2}+2x$ by each term of $x-2$.

$$x^{3}-2x^{2}+2x^{2}-4x$$

Combine $-2x^{2}$ and $2x^{2}$ to get $0$.

$$x^{3}-4x$$
