Step-by-step Solution
Specify the solving method
1
Break the equation in $2$ factors and set each equal to zero, to obtain
$x+1=0,\:x-2=0$
2
Solve the equation ($1$)
$x+1=0$
3
We need to isolate the dependent variable $x$, we can do that by simultaneously subtracting $1$ from both sides of the equation
$x+1-1=0-1$
4
Canceling terms on both sides
$x=-1$
5
Solve the equation ($2$)
$x-2=0$
6
We need to isolate the dependent variable $x$, we can do that by simultaneously subtracting $-2$ from both sides of the equation
$x-2+2=0+2$
7
Canceling terms on both sides
$x=2$
8
Combining all solutions, the $2$ solutions of the equation are
$x=-1,\:x=2$
Final Answer
$x=-1,\:x=2$
