Solve for x:
3 x^3 - 7 x^2 - 7 x + 3 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:
(x - 3) (x + 1) (3 x - 1) = 0
Split into three equations:
x - 3 = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or 3 x - 1 = 0
Add 3 to both sides:
x = 3 or x + 1 = 0 or 3 x - 1 = 0
Subtract 1 from both sides:
x = 3 or x = -1 or 3 x - 1 = 0
Add 1 to both sides:
x = 3 or x = -1 or 3 x = 1
Divide both sides by 3:
Answer: | x = 3 or x = -1 or x = 1/3
