2x0 & 3x0.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OK, do you agree that one of them had to be 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OH, Now I get it ..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it's zero?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OK, so you have two numbers that are multiplied together to get 0
x and 2x + 5
so either x = 0 or the 2x + 5 = 0
x = 0 is already solved
2x + 5 = 0 (you must solve this for x)
2x = -5
x = -5/2
SO x = 0 or x = -5/2
