Answer

$x=0$ or $x=\dfrac{3}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Subtract $3x^2$ from both sides to obtain: \begin{align*} 2x^3-3x^2&=0\\ x^2(2x-3)&=0 \end{align*} Solve the equation using the Zero-Product Property by equating each factor to zero, then solve each equation to obtain: \begin{align*} x^2&=0 &\text{or}& &2x-3=0\\ x&=0 &\text{or}& &2x=3\\ & && &x=\frac{3}{2} \end{align*}
