Question
For the following problems, use the zero-factor property to solve the equations.$$(5 a+1)(2 a-3)=0$$
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: (5a + 1)(2a - 3) = 0 So either (5a + 1) = 0 or (2a - 3) = 0. Show more…
