Question

How do you solve the following equation by factoring?

c^2=5c

Answer 1

c=0
c=5

Answer 2

Thanks but can you show how you got that answer?

Answer 3

c^2 =5c
(c)x(c) =5c
[(c)x(c)]/(c) = 5c/c
c = 5

Answer 4

Rewrite the equation:

c^2 - 5c = 0.

Factor out a c:

C ( C - 5 ) = 0.

What values of C make this true?
