Find all solutions to the given equation: (2x - 4) (x + 5) = 0

x = - 5,2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given factor form, (2x - 4) (x + 5) = 0

There are two factors of polynomial in binomial form.

So, set each factor to 0 and solve for x

First factor: 2x - 4

solve for x

2x - 4 = 0

2x = 4

x = 2

Second factor: x + 5

x + 5 = 0

x = - 5

Solution: x = - 5,2

Hence, the solutions of the equation are - 5 and 2
