See a solution process below:

Solve each term on the left side of the equation for $0$ :

Solution 1:

$3x = 0$

$(3x)/color(red)(3) = 0/color(red)(3)$

$(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(3)))x)/cancel(color(red)(3)) = 0$

$x = 0$

Solution 2:

$x - 5 = 0$

$x - 5 + color(red)(5) = 0 + color(red)(5)$

$x - 0 = 5$

$x = 5$

The Solutions Are: $x = 0$ and $x = 5$
