Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation x squared minus 13 x plus 30 is equal to 0

Factor the quadratic: x² − 13x + 30 = (x − 3)(x − 10), since −3 and −10 multiply to 30 and add to −13. By the zero product property, x − 3 = 0 or x − 10 = 0, so x = 3 or x = 10. The correct choice is A, “x is equal to 3 or x is equal to 10.”
