X^2 -3x + 0 = 0 Factor and solve

Luda [366]

So if you subtract the 0 out from the left side, the equation is now $x^{2}-3x=0$ . Since a x is common in both of the terms on the left side, you can factor it out, now making the equation look like $x(x-3)=0$ . When factoring, each of the separate things (x and (x-3)), must equal zero while the other one doesn't matter. So in order for the equation to be 0, the only potential options for x is 0 and 3. Therefore x=0 and x=3 are the two solutions
