Tap to zero
The Zero Product Property
If two things multiply to zero, what must be true? Tap a factor to set it to zero.
×
=
{{ (s1.leftZero || s1.rightZero) ? '0' : '?' }}
Since the first factor is 0, the whole product is 0! Reset and try the other.
Since the second factor is 0, the whole product is 0!
Either factor being 0 makes the equation true!

Find the Solutions
Use the Zero Product Property to find the values of x that make the equation true.
Therefore
x =
{{ s4.v1 }}
OR
x =
{{ s4.v2 }}
