What is the first step in solving 
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 0      ?

• Plug in zero for x

• Solve for x

• FOIL

• Set each binomial factor equal to zero

Solve by factoring:  2x²+ 7x + 6 = 0

• x= 3/2 and x = 2

• x = -3/2 and x = -2

• x = 6 and x = 7

• x = -6 and x = -7

Solve by factoring: x² - 9x + 20 = 0

• x = -4 and x = -5

• x = 20 and x = -9

• x = 4 and x = 5

• x = -4 and x = 5

Solve by factoring: x² + 3x - 18 = 0

• x = -3 and x = 6

• x = 3 and x = -6

• x = -9 and x = 2

• x = 9 and x = -2

Solve by factoring: 5x² + 13x + 6 = 0

• x = -2 and x = -3/5

• x = 2 and x = 3/5

• x = -2 and x = 3/5

• x = 2 and x = -3/5
