The solution is $x = 0, \frac{5}{3}$ $x=0,5/3$ .

Problem: Factor and solve $3 x^{2} = 5 x$ $3x^2=5x$

Subtract $5 x$ $5x$ from both sides of the equation.

$3 x^{2} - 5 x = 0$ $3x^2-5x=0$

Factor out the GCF $x$ $x$ .

$x (3 x - 5) = 0$ $x(3x-5)=0$

$x (3 x - 5) = 0$ $x(3x-5)=0$ when $x = 0$ $x=0$ and when $3 x - 5 = 0$ $3x-5=0$

$3 x - 5 = 0$ $3x-5=0$

$x - \frac{5}{3} = 0$ $x-5/3=0$

$x = \frac{5}{3}$ $x=5/3$

Solution: $x = 0, \frac{5}{3}$ $x=0,5/3$
