Question 22828: solve and write in simplest form

x^2-12x=0

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Did you notice that this is a Quadratic Equation (see many of our lesson plans on solving quadratic equations!) Did you notice that this equation is already equal to zero? (This is VERY good!) Did you notice that there is a common factor of x? Then factor the common factor:
x(x-12)=0

Now, set each factor equal to zero.
x= 0 and x-12= 0
x=0 and x= 12

Wasn't that easy??
