You can put this solution on YOUR website! (x-3)(2x-7)=0
--------------
If the product is zero, one of the factors must be zero.
You can't multiply 2 things and get zero otherwise.
----------------
Either x - 3 = 0 --> x = 3
or
2x - 7 = 0 --> x = 7/2
2 answers: x = 3, x = 7/2
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ...here you have a quadratic equation already factored; so the roots will be:
if ...->...
and
if ...->......->...
let's see it on a graph:
