3x^2=2x

Solve for x

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 3x^2 = 2x \), we can start by rearranging it to set it to zero:

\[ 3x^2 - 2x = 0 \]

Next, we can factor out \( x \) from the left side:

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

Now, we can set each factor equal to zero:

  1. \( x = 0 \)
  2. \( 3x - 2 = 0 \)

For the second equation, we solve for \( x \):

\[ 3x - 2 = 0 \ 3x = 2 \ x = \frac{2}{3} \]

So the solutions to the equation \( 3x^2 = 2x \) are:

\[ x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{2}{3} \]
