Find the x-intercepts of this graph equation

Question

What are the x-intercepts for the graph of this equation? y=0.2(x+13)(x+6) 

 

how do I solve this step by step? 

Answer 1

Set these the factors equal to zero.

 

x + 13 = 0               and               x + 6 = 0

 

Solve for x from these equations.  You will have two x values, meaning that you will have two x-intercepts.
