x=0\x=(21)/(23)

Let's solve the equation:

3(4x^2 )=(5x−3)(7x)

We can solve the equation by multiplying, re-ordering terms, distributing, combining like terms, factoring, dividing both sides of the equation by the same factor, using the quadratic formula, and simplifying.

Steps to solve:

1. Multiply the numbers:

12x^2 =(5x−3)(7x)

2. Re-order terms so constants are on the left:

12x^2 =7(5x−3)x

3. Distribute:

12x^2 =35x^2 −21x

4. Move terms to the left side:

12x^2 −(35x^2 −21x)=0

5. Distribute:

12x^2 −35x^2 +21x=0

6. Combine like terms:

−23x^2 +21x=0

7. Factor:

−(23x^2 −21x)=0

8. Divide both sides of the equation by the same factor:

23x^2 −21x=0

9. Use the quadratic formula:

x= −b± √b^2 −4ac/ 2a

Quadratic formula coefficient plug-in.

x= 21±21/46

​11. Separate the equations:

x= 21/23

x=0
