Fill in the Blank

A data analyst is calculating the break-even points for a new product launch, which are found by solving the equation 8x3=24x2βˆ’18x{}8x^3 = 24x^2 - 18x. After writing the equation in standard form and completely factoring the expression, the analyst arrives at 2x(2xβˆ’3)(2xβˆ’3)=0{}2x(2x - 3)(2x - 3) = 0. To find the distinct solutions x=0x = 0 and x=32x = \frac{3}{2}, the analyst sets each individual factor to zero. The mathematical rule that justifies setting each factor to zero is called the ____ Property.
