Answer 2

It's easy. Here, we have one solution = 1/3. It means (x-1/3)*something = the given equation. So divide the equation with (x-1/3) and the quotient will be your way to solution

Answer 3

I think that the second factor will be (x-5). So the second solution to the equation is 5

Answer 4

There is one more easy method to find the answer. Sketch the graph and see where the curve intersect the x-axis.

Answer 5

Or you can simply factorize.
