The solution

You have entered [src]
(3*x - 6)*(4*x - 8/5) = 0
$$\left(3 x - 6\right) \left(4 x - \frac{8}{5}\right) = 0$$
Detail solution
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\left(3 x - 6\right) \left(4 x - \frac{8}{5}\right) = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$12 x^{2} - \frac{144 x}{5} + \frac{48}{5} = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 12$$
$$b = - \frac{144}{5}$$
$$c = \frac{48}{5}$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-144/5)^2 - 4 * (12) * (48/5) = 9216/25

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = 2$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{2}{5}$$
