What is the solution set of the equation?

[tex]\[ (3x - 5)(2x - 10) = 0 \][/tex]

A. [tex]\(\left\{5, \frac{5}{3}\right\}\)[/tex]

B. [tex]\(\left\{-5, -\frac{5}{3}\right\}\)[/tex]

C. \{5\}

D. [tex]\(\left\{\begin{array}{ll}5 & 5 \\ 2 & 3\end{array}\right\}\)[/tex]



Answer :

To solve the equation [tex]\((3x - 5)(2x - 10) = 0\)[/tex], we need to set each factor in the equation to zero and solve for [tex]\(x\)[/tex] individually. This is because a product of two terms is zero if and only if at least one of the terms is zero.

1. Solve the first factor:
[tex]\[ 3x - 5 = 0 \][/tex]
Add 5 to both sides:
[tex]\[ 3x = 5 \][/tex]
Divide by 3:
[tex]\[ x = \frac{5}{3} \][/tex]

2. Solve the second factor:
[tex]\[ 2x - 10 = 0 \][/tex]
Add 10 to both sides:
[tex]\[ 2x = 10 \][/tex]
Divide by 2:
[tex]\[ x = 5 \][/tex]

So, the solution set of the equation [tex]\((3x - 5)(2x - 10) = 0\)[/tex] is [tex]\(\left\{ \frac{5}{3}, 5 \right\}\)[/tex].

Hence, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \left\{5, \frac{5}{3}\right\} \][/tex]
