$x = - 4, - 2$

We have: $(x + 4)^(3) (x + 2)^(2) = 0$

Using the null factor law:

$Rightarrow (x + 4)^(3) = 0$

$Rightarrow x + 4 = 0$

$therefore x = - 4$

$or$

$Rightarrow (x + 2)^(2) = 0$

$Rightarrow x + 2 = 0$

$therefore x = - 2$

Therefore, the solutions to the equation are $x = - 4$ and $x = - 2$ .
