Factor the expression
(x−1)(x+2)(x+3)=0
Separate the equation into 3 possible cases
x−1=0x+2=0x+3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=1
x=1x+2=0x+3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x+2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=−2
x=1x=−2x+3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

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
