Answer

x=2 or x=−13 or x=−5x = 2 \text{ or } x = -\frac{1}{3} \text{ or } x = -5

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

Okay, -Purple. Let's solve this.

  1. Set each factor equal to zero.

    For the product of factors to be zero, at least one of the factors must be zero.

    (x−2)(3x+1)(x+5)=0(x-2)(3x+1)(x+5) = 0

    This means:

    x−2=0or3x+1=0orx+5=0x-2 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad 3x+1 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x+5 = 0
  2. Solve each equation for xx.

    From the first equation:

    x−2=0x-2 = 0 x=2x = 2

    From the second equation:

    3x+1=03x+1 = 0 3x=−13x = -1 x=−13x = -\frac{1}{3}

    From the third equation:

    x+5=0x+5 = 0 x=−5x = -5

    The solutions for xx are:
    x=2 or x=−13 or x=−5x = 2 \text{ or } x = -\frac{1}{3} \text{ or } x = -5
