1. **State the problem:** Solve the quadratic equation $$10x^2 - 12x = 0$$ by any method.
2. **Formula and rules:** To solve quadratic equations, one common method is factoring. If the equation can be factored as $$a(x)(b(x)) = 0$$, then by the zero product property, either $$a(x) = 0$$ or $$b(x) = 0$$.
3. **Factor the equation:**
$$10x^2 - 12x = 0$$
Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF), which is $$2x$$:
$$2x(5x - 6) = 0$$
4. **Apply zero product property:**
Set each factor equal to zero:
$$2x = 0$$ or $$5x - 6 = 0$$
5. **Solve each equation:**
For $$2x = 0$$:
$$x = \cancel{\frac{0}{2}}0$$
For $$5x - 6 = 0$$:
Add 6 to both sides:
$$5x = 6$$
Divide both sides by 5:
$$x = \cancel{\frac{6}{5}}\frac{6}{5}$$
6. **Final answer:**
$$x = 0$$ or $$x = \frac{6}{5}$$
This means the solutions to the quadratic equation are $$0$$ and $$\frac{6}{5}$$.
