8-163.

Use the Zero Product Property to solve each equation in parts (a) and (b) below.

$x\left(2x + 1\right)\left(3x − 5\right) = 0$
Answer (a):
$\textit{x}=0,\,-\frac{1}{2},\,\frac{5}{3}$

$\left(x − 3\right)\left(x − 2\right) = 12$
Hint (b):
Multiply, subtract $12$ from both sides, and re-factor before using the Zero Product Property.

Write an equation and show how you can use the Zero Product Property to solve it.
Hint (c):
See parts (a) and (b) for examples.
