Answer:


0, \frac{11}6, \frac87

Explanation:

Good thing it's already written as a product, which spares us the most complicated (and boring) part.

We know that a product is zero if it's 0 any of the factors.

From the first one
x^2=0 \rightarrow x=0

from the second factor
6x-11=0 \rightarrow x=\frac{11}6

and finally, for the third one,
7x-8 =0 \rightarrow x = \frac87
