Answer:

x = 0, 51

Explanation:

→First, you need to factor out the GCF (Greatest Common Factor), which is -0.03x, like so:

-0.03x (x - 51) = 0

→Remove the -0.03 by divide it by both sides:

x(x - 51) = 0

→Separate each, like so:

x = 0

x - 51 = 0

→Solve for x:

x - 51 = 0

x = 51

Your solutions are, 0 and 51.
