To solve the equation \( 2 \cdot (x - 3) = 0 \) using the zero product property, we first recognize that this product equals zero when at least one of the factors is zero.

Given the equation:

\[ 2 \cdot (x - 3) = 0 \]

We can apply the zero product property:

1. Since \( 2 \) is a nonzero constant, we focus on the factor \( (x - 3) \).
2. Setting that equal to zero gives:

\[
x - 3 = 0
\]

3. Now, solve for \( x \):

\[
x = 3
\]

This tells us that the value of \( x \) that makes the original statement true is \( x = 3 \).

In your question, you mentioned finding the value of \( c \). Assuming that you're looking for the value of \( x \), the answer is \( x = 3 \). If \( c \) refers to something else in a different context, please provide additional clarification.
