To solve for x, first factor out an x from the left side of the equal sign. This gives us



We know know that 0 is one of the values of x.

To find the other two values, use the quadratic formula on the quadratic equation inside the parentheis:

=

=

=


We can reduce this to lowest terms, by factoring out a 6 from the numerator:

, then dividing the factored 6, by two, giving us



Therefore, x = 0,,
