Best Answer

-- Factor the left side of the equation.

-- Set one factor equal to zero, and solve it for 'x'. That gives you

one solution to the equation.

-- Set the other factor to zero, and solve it for 'x'. That gives you

the other solution to the equation.

-- If you don't get x=2 and x=-8/3 then repeat the previous steps,

because you made a mistake the first time.
