Answer

$t=0$ and $t=-2$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 3t(t+2)=0$ Use zero-product property rule. $\Rightarrow 3t=0$ or $t+2=0$ Solve for $t$. $\Rightarrow t=0$ or $t=-2$ Check:- $t=0$ $\Rightarrow 3(0)(0+2)=0$ $\Rightarrow 0(2)=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Check:- $t=-2$ $\Rightarrow 3(-2)(-2+2)=0$ $\Rightarrow -6(0)=0$ $\Rightarrow 0=0$ True. Hence, the solutions are $t=0$ and $t=-2$.
