You may notice that all of the terms have a common factor: [tex]x[/tex]. So, let's take the [tex]x[/tex] out of all the terms. This gives us:
[tex]x(x^2 + 2x - 24) = 0[/tex]
Using the Zero Product Property, we can say that both [tex]x = 0[/tex] and [tex]x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0[/tex].
Let's solve both. [tex]x = 0[/tex] is obvious, but we still need to solve our other term:
[tex]x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0[/tex]
[tex](x + 6)(x - 4) = 0[/tex]
[tex]x = -6, 4[/tex]
Our answer is x = -6, 0, 4.
