Given 3X%2A%284X-3%29+=+0
The eqaution is equal to zero when either the terms outside the parentheses is equal to zero or the terms inside the parentheses is equal to zero.
First we will solve for the outside term.
3X+=+0
Divide both sides by 3
highlight%28X+=+0%29
Now solve for the inside term.
4X+-+3+=+0
Add 3 to both sides
4X+=+3
Divide both sides by 4
highlight_green%28X+=+3%2F4%29
So X equals 0 or 3/4
