Which of the following is a possible value for X

First, You cross multiply.

(x - 1)(x + 1) = 8

x^2 - 1 = 8

Now subtract 8 from both sides.

x^2 - 9 = 0

x^2 - 9 is a difference between 2 squares.

(x + 3)(x - 3) = 0

For an equation with only multiplying to be equal to 0, one of its factors must be 0.

So either x + 3 = 0 or x - 3 = 0.

So x could be -3 or 3.

The answer is (E).

Hope this helps!
