Question

Solve the following equation, write answer in reduced fraction form, if necessary. Separate multiple entries with commas: (5x)(x-3)=0

Answer 1

The given equation is

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

Given that the equation is expressed in factored form, we can use the zero product property, which allows us to rewrite the equation in two solutions

`\begin{gathered} 5x=0\rightarrow x=0 \\ x-3=0\rightarrow x=3 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the solutions are x = 0, 3.
