Rewrite the expression
x×2x−x×3+2x−3
Factor out x from the expression
x(2x−3)+2x−3
Factor out 2x−3 from the expression
(x+1)(2x−3)
2(x+1)(2x−3)
2(x+1)(2x−3)=0
Divide the terms
(x+1)(2x−3)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x+1=02x−3=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps

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=−12x−3=0
Solve the equation for x

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=−1x=23
