Question

solve x^2-6x=0 by graphing or by factoring.
A)x=0
B)x=-6
C)x=-6, x=0
D)x=0, x=6

Answer 1

I think it would be easiest to factorise it. Try taking out an x, and then see how you get on.

Answer 2

x^2 - 6x = 0

x(x - 6) = 0

hopefully that helps

Answer 3

thank you

Answer 4

np

Answer 5

tell me what you got

Answer 6

c

Answer 7

close, but no

Answer 8

x(x - 6) = 0

x = 0 or x-6 = 0

x = 0 or x = 6

Answer 9

so its d then?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

i think i kept the - sign in, that's what probably messed me up

Answer 12

yeah it gets a lot of people, but just keep in mind that x = 6 makes x-6 =0 true

since

x-6 = 0

6 - 6 = 0... plug in x = 6

0 = 0 ... you can see that it's true, so x = 6 is a solution to x - 6 = 0

Answer 13

i get it thanks, im gona go . night

Answer 14

ok glad it's making sense now
