This is an important rule to know:
If a is a real number, then a*0=0.

This is another important thing to know:
If a and b are real number, and if a*b=0,
Then either a=0, or b=0, or both a and b are zero.

Now, what can you do with those two binomial factors in your given equation?
Either [_____________] or [______________].
