First set the equation equal to zero, by subtracting from each side of the equation.

Factor the common factor of from the left side of the equation:

Set each factor equal to zero:
or

Now this is a technicality, but the only solution you can obtain strictly by factoring is from the first equation, x=0. The second equation can be solved but not by factoring. The second equation also gives real solutions, so you probably want those also, right?
