Start with the given equation.

Distribute.

Combine like terms.

Factor out the GCF 'x'.

Now set each factor equal to zero:

or

or Now solve for x in each case

So the solutions are

or

Since the 'x' intercepts of are simply the solutions of , this means that the x-intercepts are (0,0) and (-3,0)
