Answer:

x=3

Explanation:

An equation's omitted factors are the values of x for which the result is unknown. This indicates that if the denominator or x(x-3) equals 0, your solution is undefined.

Set up this equation and solve for the potential possibilities of x to find these numbers: x(x-3)=0

Divide both sides by (x-3) to find one of the values:

x(x-3)/(x-3)=0(x-3)

Because (x-3) cancels on the left side of the equation and everything divided by 0 is zero on the right, you should get: x=0.

Now that you've determined one of the excluded values, work out the other:

To begin, split both sides by x:

x(x-3)=0

x-3=0

Finally, multiply both sides by -3 to get: x=3
