Set First Factor Equal: To find the values of x, we need to set each factor equal to zero because if a product equals zero, at least one of the factors must be zero.
Solve for x: First, set the first factor equal to zero: 2x+3=0. Subtract 3 from both sides: 2x=−3. Divide both sides by 2: x=−23.
Set Second Factor Equal: Now, set the second factor equal to zero: 4x+3=0. Subtract 3 from both sides: 4x=−3. Divide both sides by 4: x=−43.
