Start with the given equation.

Factor out the GCF 'x'

or Set each factor equal to zero.

or Subtract 'b' from both sides (for the second equation).

or Divide both sides by 'a' to isolate 'x' (on the second equation)

So the solutions are or

Let a and b be real numbers such as a ≠ 0. Find the solutions for ax^2 + bx = 0.
-------------------
ax^2+bx = 0
Factor:
x(ax+b) = 0
x = 0 or x = -b/a
