Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E3%2B5x%5E2+=+6x\"$ Subtract 6x from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E3%2B5x%5E2-6x+=+0\"$ Factor an x from the left side.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%28x%5E2%2B5x-6%29+=+0\"$ Factor the trinomial in parentheses.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%28x-1%29%28x%2B6%29+=+0\"$ Apply the zero product rule.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+0\"$ or $\"x-1+=+0\"$ or $\"x%2B6+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x+=+0%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x+=+1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x+=+-6%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
