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
