Solve the equation using the Zero Product Property. (3x + 1)(x – 5) = 0

Question

• and 5
• and –5
• and 5
• and –5

Answer 1

3 x + 1 = 0 Subtract 1 from both sides

3 x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

3 x = - 1 Divide both sides by 3

3 x / 3 = - 1 / 3

x = - 1 / 3

x – 5 = 0 Add 5 from both sides

x - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5

x = 5

The solutions are :

- 1 / 3 and 5
