To solve the equation \( 2x^2 = 6x \) by factoring, follow these steps:

  1. First, set the equation to zero by subtracting \( 6x \) from both sides:

    \[ 2x^2 - 6x = 0 \]

  2. Next, factor out the common term, which is \( 2x \):

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

  3. Now, set each factor equal to zero to find the solutions:

    • \( 2x = 0 \)
    • \( x - 3 = 0 \)
  4. Solving these equations gives:

    • From \( 2x = 0 \): \[ x = 0 \]
    • From \( x - 3 = 0 \): \[ x = 3 \]

Thus, the solutions to the equation \( 2x^2 = 6x \) are:

\[ x = 0, 3 \]

In the format requested: 0, 3.
