OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you tell me the work though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Reorder the terms: 5x(20 + 4x) = 0 (20 * 5x + 4x * 5x) = 0 (100x + 20x2) = 0 Solving 100x + 20x2 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (espex):

Factor the denominator, this will allow you to cancel terms to simplify.
