-- 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.
