$v=0$ and $v=8$

We can factor out $3v$ :

$3v(v-8)=0$

By the zero factor principle, the equation will be zero when each of the factors are zero, so we solve for when the factors are zero:

$3v=0 -> v=0$

$v-8=0 -> v=8$

Therefore, the solutions are $v=0$ and $v=8$

How do you solve 3v ^ { 2} - 24v = 03v ^ { 2} - 24v = 0?
