Answer 1

zero product property

Explanation:

To conclude that x+2=0 or x+6=0 from the equation (x+2)(x+6)=0, one must use the zero product property.

The zero product property states that if the product of two factors is equal to zero, then at least one of the factors must be equal to zero. In this case, if (x+2)(x+6)=0, it means that the product of (x+2) and (x+6) is zero. Therefore, we can conclude that either (x+2) = 0 or (x+6) = 0, based on the zero product property.
