1can one of the values of x be 0?

1yes x = 0is the only possible solution.
obviously x will be positive. (plug in to check)
take cases,
1: 0≤x<1
...here [x] = 0 and {x} = x
this gives us x = 0.
2: <1x<2
...here [x] = 1 and {x} = x-1
this gives us a negative value to 2x hence not possible..so no need to take any further cases.
