\[
\begin{array}{l}
(3 x-6)(-x+3)=0 \\
\text { lesser } x=\square \\
\text { greater } x=\square
\end{array}
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the equation \((3x-6)(-x+3)=0\), we need to find the values of \(x\) that make each factor equal to zero. This involves setting each factor equal to zero and solving for \(x\). Once we have the solutions, we will order them from least to greatest.
Step 1: Set Each Factor to Zero
We start with the equation \((3x-6)(-x+3)=0\). To find the values of \(x\), we set each factor equal to zero:
\(3x - 6 = 0\)
\(-x + 3 = 0\)
Step 2: Solve Each Equation
For the first equation \(3x - 6 = 0\):
\[
3x = 6 \implies x = \frac{6}{3} = 2
\]
For the second equation \(-x + 3 = 0\):
\[
-x = -3 \implies x = 3
\]
Step 3: Order the Solutions
The solutions we found are \(x = 2\) and \(x = 3\). We order them from least to greatest:
\[
2 < 3
\]
Final Answer
The lesser solution is \(x = 2\) and the greater solution is \(x = 3\). Thus, we can express the final answer as:
\[
\boxed{x = 2 \text{ and } x = 3}
\]
