Question

How do you solve `3x(x-5)=0`?

Answer 1

Equate each of the terms to 0 and solve for x since the expression is already factorized.

Explanation:

Since both terms are being multiplied to give 0, one of them has to be 0, so either `3x = 0` or `x-5 = 0`, if `3x=0, x=0` and if `x-5=0, x=5`

So either `x=0` or `x=5`
