*Find the Greatest Common Factor, which is 3x...
First: multiply 3x with the missing terms to get the original expression.
3x(x - 2) = 0
Sec: solve each x-variable...
a. 3x = 0
*divide both sides by 3 (when you move a term to the opposite side, always use the opposite sign).
3x/3 = 0/3
x = 0
b. x-2 = 0 (add 2 to both sides).
x-2+2 = 0+2
x = 2
Solutions: 0 & 2

You can take out a 3x, making it
3x(x-2)=0
So, either 3x=0 or x-2=0
If 3x=0, x=0
If x-2=0, x=2.

Hey there!
Here's the answer.
3x^2-6x=0 --> Write the problem.
3x(x-2)=0 --> Factor out the GCF on the left side of the equation.
3x=0 or x-2=0 --> Use the zero-product property i.e. if pq=0, then p=0 or q=0.
x=0 or x=2 Solve each equation for x.
So the answers are x=0 or x=2.
Hope it helps!
