Question

How do u find the fraction result of this equation,
Im confused

Answer 1

At step 2, we arrive at

(2x + 3) (x + 3) = 0

and the next step (which isn't actually shown) is to use the so-called zero-product property that says if
`ab=0`, then
`a=0` or
`b=0`. This means

2x + 3 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

and solving the first equation leads to the rational solution.

2x + 3 = 0

2x = -3

x = -3/2
