You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"x%5E2=7x\"$ Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-7x=0\"$ Subtract 7x from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%28x-7%29=0\"$ Factor the left side\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now set each factor equal to zero:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=0\"$ or $\"x-7=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=0\"$ or $\"x=7\"$ Now solve for x in each case\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So our answers are \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=0\"$ or $\"x=7\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
