Provide an appropriate response.A student was trying to solve the problem 2x(6x - 2) = 0. The student knew that he or she should set  but was confused about whether to set 2x = 0, or 2 = 0 and x = 0. How would you advise this student?

What will be an ideal response?


Setting 2= 0 is not a problem because x =  = 0.
