Answer

$\{-\frac{5}{3},3\}$

Work Step by Step

Recall the Zero_Product Property: If $ab=0$, then $a=0$ or $b=0$ or both are $0$. Use zero product property by equating each of the factors to $0$ to obtain: $x-3=0$ or $3x+5=0$ Solve each equation for $x$. $x=3$ or $x=-\frac{5}{3}$ Hence, the solution set to the given equation is $\{-\frac{5}{3},3\}$.
