Answer

$x=0$ and $x=-\frac{2}{3}$

Work Step by Step

Factor out the GCF (greatest common factor), which is $3x$, to obtain: $$3x(3x+2)=0$$ Use the Zero-Product Property by equating each factor with a variable to zero, then solve each equation: \begin{align*} 3x&=0 &\text{or}& &3x+2=0\\\\ x&=0 &\text{or}& &3x=-2\\\\ x&=0 &\text{or}& &x=-\frac{2}{3} \end{align*}
