How do you factor and solve #2x(x+3)=0#?

1 Answer

Apr 28, 2018

#=>x = 0#
#=>x = -3#

Explanation:

#=>2x(x+3)=0#

This equation is already factored. We can divide by #2# to simplify a bit more:

#=>x(x+3)=0#

We have two possible ways to satisfy this equation:

#=>x=0#
#=>x+3=0 -> x = -3#

Hence, the two solutions are: #x = 0# and #x = -3#
