3x2−4x+3x−4
Rewrite the expression
x×3x−x×4+3x−4
Factor out x from the expression
x(3x−4)+3x−4
Factor out 3x−4 from the expression
(x+1)(3x−4)
(x+1)(3x−4)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x+1=03x−4=0
Solve the equation for x

Evaluate
x+1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=−1
x=−13x−4=0
Solve the equation for x

Evaluate
3x−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3x=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3x=4
Divide both sides
33x=34
Divide the numbers
x=34
x=−1x=34
