Multiply the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
(x2−9)×2(x2−2x−15)×2
Multiply the terms
(x2−9)×4(x2−2x−15)
Multiply the first two terms
4(x2−9)(x2−2x−15)
4(x2−9)(x2−2x−15)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
(x2−9)(x2−2x−15)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2−9=0x2−2x−15=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x2−9=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x2=0+9
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x2=9
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±9
