Start with the given equation

FOIL

Distribute

Get everything to the left side

Combine like terms.

Factor out the GCF "x"

or Set each factor equal to zero

So the first solution is

---------------------

Now let's solve

Factor the left side

or Set each factor equal to zero

or Solve for "x" in each equation
