Solve 5x^2 = –45x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x^2=-45x 5x^2+45x=0 5x(x+9)=0 So 5x=0 or x+9=0 x=0 or x=-9

OpenStudy (across):

We have the following equation: \[5x^2=-45x\]If we divide both sides by x, we obtain: \[5x=-45\]Then we divide by 5 and obtain: \[x=-9\]

OpenStudy (across):

I forgot the possibility of division by zero. Anhhuyalex ist right.
