$3 c (c + 2) = 0$

Step 1

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to $0$ , the entire expression will be equal to $0$ .

$c = 0$

$c + 2 = 0$

Step 2

Set $c$ equal to $0$ .

$c = 0$

Step 3

Set $c + 2$ equal to $0$ and solve for $c$ .

Step 3.1

Set $c + 2$ equal to $0$ .

$c + 2 = 0$

Step 3.2

Subtract $2$ from both sides of the equation.

$c = - 2$

Step 4

The final solution is all the values that make $3 c (c + 2) = 0$ true.

$c = 0, - 2$
