Question

solve for t: 4t^2-15t=0

Answer 1

t=15/4

Answer 2

Can you display your work? I know factoring comes into play. Thanks a bunch!

Answer 3

t(4t-15)=0
4t-15=0
4t=15
t=15/4

Answer 4

So you can just divide 0 by t and it gets rid of it in the first step?

Answer 5

no. that the zero property. you dont divide by zero or your answer would be undefine

Answer 6

right, how does the t in the first step dissapear?

Answer 7

@Venomblast let me tell you... if you divide any number by zero then it will result infinity like 1/0 ...
but if you divide 0 by any number you'll get zero as answer...
@Topkart33 yes t is divided by zero which results in zero...

Answer 8

actually. 1/0 = undefine and 0/1 = 0

Answer 9

@topkart33 the t disapear by taking out a t. so t(4t-15).
