I'm not sure about a two-column proof, but here's the answer

 

3x^2-7x+2=0   factor

 

(3x - 1) (x - 2)  = 0       set each factor to 0

 

3x - 1   = 0                                                                x - 2   = 0

 

add 1 to each side                                                  add 2 to each side

 

3x  = 1                                                                       x  = 2

 

divide both sides by 3

 

x =  1/3

 

And those are the two solutions
