Hi andreEee,
It is nice to meet you :)
(x+2) (x-3) (x+4) =0
ok, think about this abc=0
What can a,b or c be?
Well the only way that 3 things can multply together to give 0 is if one (or more than one) of them is 0 to start with.
SO
if abc=0 then either a=0 or b=0 or c=0 (or more than one of them can be 0)
It is the same for your problem.
If (x+2) (x-3) (x+4) =0
then
either x+2=0 or x-1=0 or x+4=0
so either x= -2 or x=1 or x = -4
