Answer:
x=-9 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
FOIL method
x^2+6x-27=0
Find the common numbers that multiply to 27 that will also equal 6.
(27x6) or (9x3)
the 6 is positive while 27 is negative so you need to use a + and - in the parenthesis.
then FOIL them
(x+9)(x-3)
FIRST: x*x=x^2
OUTSIDE: x*-3=-3x
INNER: 9*x=9x
LAST: +9*-3=-27
x^2(-3x9x)-27
x^2+6x-27
now that the equation matches you solve for x.
(x+9)=0 x=-9
(x-3)=0 x=3
