Multiply the terms
x2(x−3)×4x3
Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents
x2+3(x−3)×4
Add the numbers
x5(x−3)×4
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
4x5(x−3)
4x5(x−3)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
x5(x−3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x5=0x−3=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0x−3=0
Solve the equation

Evaluate
x−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=3
x=0x=3
Solution
x1=0,x2=3
