What are the solutions to the equation open paren x minus 6 close paren times open paren x plus 8 close paren is equal to 0 ?

By the zero-product property, if (x − 6)(x + 8) = 0, at least one factor must equal 0. Solving x − 6 = 0 gives x = 6, and solving x + 8 = 0 gives x = −8. The solutions are 6 and −8, which is choice B.
