Question
For the following problems, use the zero-factor property to solve the equations.$$(2 m-1)(3 m+8)=0$$
Step 1
The zero-factor property states that if the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. In this case, we have: (2m - 1)(3m + 8) = 0 So either (2m - 1) = 0 or (3m + 8) = 0. Show more…
