What is a solution to (x + 6) (x + 2) = 60?

x = - 6

x = - 4

x = 4

х = 12

I'm guessing it's 4 because 12 is too much and the negatives are becoming lower numbers

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in

(-6+6) (-6+2) = 60

(0) (-4) = 60

0=60, so - 6 wouldn't work since 0 isn't equal to 60

(-4+6) (-4+2) = 60

(2) (-2) = 60

-4=60, so - 4 wouldn't work since - 4 isn't equal to 60

(4+6) (4+2) = 60

(10) (6) = 60

60=60, so 4 would work since 60 is equal to 60

(12+6) (12+2) = 60

(18) (14) = 60

252=60, so 12 wouldn't work since 252 isn't equal to 60
