Hi Corina, If you multiply two non-zero numbers you get a non-zero answer. The only time you get zero is if one of the two numbers is zero, or perhaps both are zero. In you problem two numbers are multiplied together, $(4x - 5)$ and $(3x + 2),$ and the result is zero. Hence either $4x - 5 = 0$ or $3x + 2 = 0.$ Do you see how to complete the problem. Write back if you need more assistance, | ||||||||||||
