Algebra.Com's Answer #178070 by oberobic(2304)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, get it into standard form by subtracting 8x from both sides: \n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 8x = 0 \n" ); document.write( "Now you can see the common factor is 'x': \n" ); document.write( "x(x - 8) = 0 \n" ); document.write( "That gives us two values of 'x' that are true: \n" ); document.write( "x=0 and x=8. \n" ); document.write( "Check. \n" ); document.write( "0(0-8)=0. True \n" ); document.write( "8(8-8)=0. True \n" ); document.write( " |
