X^2 -9X = 0. Factor and use the Zero property to solve

1 answer:

5 0

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

Answer:

-5x^2 - 25x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x ( x + 8 ) + x + 2 ( 9 - x - x^2 ) ( original equation )

-3x^2 - 24x + x + 18 - 2x - 2x^2 ( distribute )

-3x^2 - 2x^2 - 24x + x - 2x + 18 ( order them based on the variables . )

( -3x^2 - 2x^2 ) (- 24x + x - 2x ) ( + 18 ) ( just separated them not a part of solving !! )

-5x^2 - 25x + 18 ( solved , and the answer :) )

Hope its helps !!!
