The Principle of Zero Factors just says that if a product is zero, then at least one of the factors is zero. This means that either
OR
Using the quadratic formula we see that either
or
Therefore there are three answers that would make the formula correct, x=-6, x=-8/3 and x=9/2
Hopefully this helps, let me know if you are still unsure:)
