@Hero after solving where you will move x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not common just say devide by x.

@Hero am i right sir?

hero (hero):

Divide by x? How? We don't have an equation and even if we did, we still couldn't divide by x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: x(10x^2+ 8x-6). Now this is quadratic form. You can easily factorise.

hero (hero):

@muhammad9t5, there's a basic fundamental rule of algebra that you should remember. Never divide by the variable that you're solving for. In this case, we have an expression, not an equation, so dividing by x is not even possible.
