Question

Solve the equation using the Zero Product Property.

(2x – 4)(2x – 1) = 0

Answer 1

Recall - the Zero-Product Property means that if:
a X b = 0 ; then either a = 0 or b = 0

So you can individually set each factor to 0 and solve.

(2x-4)(2x-1)=0 then means:

2x-4= 0 or 2x-1=0

Solve each for x and get your solutions.

2x-4=0 add 4 to both sides
2x=4 divide by 2 on both sides

x = 2

2x-1=0 add 1 to both sides
2x=1 divide by 2 on both sides

x=1/2 :)
