#x=0, 3/2#

First, let's factor out like terms. In this equation, #5x# is common between the two terms on the left.

#10x^2-15x=0 ->#

#5x(2x-3)=0#

Now that you got it factored, you need to set #5x=0# and #2x-3=0#. Note that #5x# snd #2x-3# give you your zeroes for this equation.

#5x=0 ->#

#x=0# Here is our first value for x.

#2x-3=0 ->#

#x=3/2# Here is our second value for x.
