Factor out 5+x from the expression
(6−x)(5+x)
(6−x)(5+x)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
6−x=05+x=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps

Evaluate
6−x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0−6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=−6
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x=6
x=65+x=0
