Problem: (2x-7)(3x-1)=0
what is the answer to this question?
One (or both) of the factors must be zero.
Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.
(2x - 7)(3x - 1)=0
2x - 7 = 0
2x - 7 + 7 = 0 + 7
2x = 7
2x/2 = 7/2
x = 3.5
3x - 1 = 0
3x - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1
3x = 1
3x/3 = 1/3
x = 1/3
Answer: x = 3.5 and x = 1/3
