Calculate
x2+3x−9x−27
Rewrite the expression
x×x+x×3−9x−9×3
Factor out x from the expression
x(x+3)−9x−9×3
Factor out −9 from the expression
x(x+3)−9(x+3)
Factor out x+3 from the expression
(x−9)(x+3)
(x−9)(x+3)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x−9=0x+3=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps
Evaluate
x−9=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+9
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=9
x=9x+3=0
Solve the equation for x

Evaluate
x+3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0−3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=−3
x=9x=−3
Solution
x1=−3,x2=9
