Question 774115
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Use the Zero Product Rule.  If *[tex \LARGE \ \ ab\ =\ 0\ \ ] then *[tex \LARGE \ \ a\ =\ 0\ \ ] or *[tex \LARGE \ \ b\ =\ 0].


So in your case, either *[tex \LARGE x\ -\ 2\ =\ 0\ \ ] or *[tex \LARGE \ \ 3x\ +\ 4\ =\ 0].  Solve for *[tex \LARGE x] in each case.  Either will be a root.
