You can put this solution on YOUR website!

x%5E2-18x%2B32=0 Start with the given equation

%28x-16%29%28x-2%29=0 Factor the left side (note: if you need help with factoring, check out this solver)



Now set each factor equal to zero:
x-16=0 or x-2=0

x=16 or x=2 Now solve for x in each case


So our answers are

x=16 or x=2
