Solve:
\n" ); document.write( "(x-5)(3x+4) = 0 Here, you would use the \"zero product principle\" which means: If a*b = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0 or both.
\n" ); document.write( "Applying this principle to your particular problem, you get:
\n" ); document.write( "x-5 = 0 and/or 3x+4 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "If x-5 = 0, then x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "If 3x+4 = 0, then 3x = -4 and x = -4/3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
