Answer

$x=0$ and $x=3$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 5x^2-15x=0$ Factor out $5x$. $\Rightarrow 5x(x-3)=0$ Use zero-product property rule. $\Rightarrow 5x=0$ or $x-3=0$ Solve for $x$. $\Rightarrow x=0$ or $x=3$ Check:- $x=0$ $\Rightarrow 5(0)^2-15(0)=0$ $\Rightarrow 5(0)-15(0)=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Check:- $x=3$ $\Rightarrow 5(3)^2-15(3)=0$ $\Rightarrow 5(9)-15(3)=0$ $\Rightarrow 45-45=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Hence, the solutions are $x=0$ and $x=3$.
