Question

Solve the equation using the zero product property (3x+1)(x-5)=0

Answer 1

the X of the question is -(1/3) or 5

Answer 2

Answer: The solution is,

`x=-(1)/(3)` or
`x=5`

Explanation:

The Zero Product Property states that if ab = 0, then either a=0 or b=0 (or both).

Here, the given expression,

`(3x+1)(x-5)=0`

By the above property,

`3x+1=0` or
`(x-5)=0`

`\implies 3x = - 1\text{ or } x = 5`

`\implies x = - (1)/(3)\text{ or } x = 5`
