To find the x-intercepts, set y equal to zero

Factor the left side (note: if you need help with factoring, check out this solver)

Now set each factor equal to zero:
or

or Now solve for x in each case

Since we have a repeating answer, our only answer is

Notice if we graph we can see that the only root is . So this visually verifies our answer.
