Find the roots
x1=0,x2=23
Alternative Form
x1=0,x2=1.5
Evaluate
(2x−3)(x4)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(2x−3)(x4)=0
Calculate
(2x−3)x4=0
Multiply the terms
x4(2x−3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x4=02x−3=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=02x−3=0
Solve the equation

Evaluate
2x−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2x=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2x=3
Divide both sides
22x=23
Divide the numbers
x=23
x=0x=23
Solution
x1=0,x2=23
Alternative Form
