The first step of factoring is to try to factor out a common factor.
The terms x^2 and -9x have the factor x in common.
Factor out x from both terms.
x^2 - 9x = 0
x(x - 9) = 0
Now you have a product of fully factored terms equaling zero, so you can apply the zero product property to solve.
x = 0 or x - 9 = 0
x = 0 or x = 9
Answer: x = 0 or x = 9
2a−3=7
Add 3 to both sides.
2a−3+3=7+3
2a=10
Divide both sides by 2.
2a / 2 = 10 / 2
a=5
The factors of 5 are 1 and 5.
1 x 5 = 5
5 x 1 = 5

Answer:
f = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
15 + 6f = 7f
subtract 6f from each side
15= 1f
15=f
