2x%5E2+-5x+=0 Factor out the GCF of x.
x%282x-5%29=0Use the zer product property and set x=0 and 2x-5=0, solve for x.
x=0 and 2x-5=0
x=0 and 2x-5%2B5=0%2B5
x=0 and 2x=5
x=0 and 2x%2F2=5%2F2
x=0 and x=5%2F2
highlight%28x=0%29 and highlight%28x=5%2F2%29
Some books write the solution as x={0,5/2} in decimal form it's x={0,2.5}
Happy Calculating!!!
