Start with the given equation

Now set each factor equal to zero using the zero-product property:

or

Let's solve the first equation :

Start with the first equation.

Subtract from both sides.

Combine like terms on the right side.

Divide both sides by to isolate .

Reduce

So the first solution is

----------------------------------------------------------------

Now let's solve the second equation

Start with the second equation.

Add to both sides.

Combine like terms on the right side.

Divide both sides by to isolate .

Reduce.

So the second solution is

So the solutions are or
