When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
−3+x=02−x=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps

Evaluate
−3+x=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=32−x=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps

Evaluate
2−x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=−2
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x=2
