Notice that


\begin{gathered} 3x^2=3x(x) \\ \text{and} \\ 24x=3x(8) \end{gathered}

Therefore,


\Rightarrow3x^2+24x=3x(x+8)

Thus, the answer to the first question is 3x(x+8)=0.

Solving the equation,


\begin{gathered} 3x(x+8)=0 \\ \Rightarrow3x=0,x+8=0 \\ \Rightarrow x=0,x=-8 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer to the second question is x=0, x=-8
