Answer

$t=0$ and $t=5$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 12t(t-5)=0$ Use zero-product property rule. $\Rightarrow 12t=0$ or $t-5=0$ Solve for $t$. $\Rightarrow t=0$ or $t=5$ Check:- $t=0$ $\Rightarrow 12(0)(0-5)=0$ $\Rightarrow 0(-5)=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Check:- $t=5$ $\Rightarrow 12(5)(5-5)=0$ $\Rightarrow 60(0)=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Hence, the solutions are $t=0$ and $t=5$.
