Solve 5x2 = –45x.

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

Is that 5x^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

\[5x^2=-45x\]\[x^2=-9x\] x=9

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

Oops..missed that last step: Should be \[x^2/x = 9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also x=0

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

good catch :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2-45x=0\]\[x(x-9)=0\]\[x=0 \cup x=9\]
