3x%5E2+-+6x+=+0.........notice that 3x is common for both terms, factor it out
3x%28x+-+2%29+=+0.......here we have product of an monomial and binomial equal to 0
the product of an monomial and binomial will be equal to 0 if either one of them or both of them are equal to 0
so, we will have
if 3x+=+0....=> ...x%2B0
or, if x+-+2+=+0....=>...x+=+2
So one answer is x=0 and another answer is x=2
