USE ZERO PRODUCT PROPERTY TO SOLVE EQUATION WORKSHEET

Solve each equation by using the zero product property.

Problem 1 :

(n - 5) (n + 3) = 0

Problem 2 :

(x - 3) (x + 1) = 0

Problem 3 :

(a + 3) (a + 8) = 0

Problem 4 :

m(m + 7) = 0

Problem 5 :

(3x - 8) (x - 3) = 0

Problem 6 :

(3p + 1) (8p - 3) = 0

Problem 7 :

(a - 7) (a - 3) = 0

Problem 8 :

(4v + 5) (v + 7) = 0

Problem 9 :

3p(5p - 1) = 0

Problem 10 :

(v + 8)² = 0
