Simplify (2z-3)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplifying -2z3 + -2z2 + 24z = 0 Reorder the terms: 24z + -2z2 + -2z3 = 0 Solving 24z + -2z2 + -2z3 = 0 Solving for variable 'z'. Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2z'. 2z(12 + -1z + -1z2) = 0 Factor a trinomial. 2z((3 + -1z)(4 + z)) = 0 Ignore the factor 2. Subproblem 1 Set the factor 'z' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying z = 0 Solving z = 0 Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying z = 0 Subproblem 2 Set the factor '(3 + -1z)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 3 + -1z = 0 Solving 3 + -1z = 0 Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -1z = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -1z = 0 + -3 -1z = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3 -1z = -3 Divide each side by '-1'. z = 3 Simplifying z = 3 Subproblem 3 Set the factor '(4 + z)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 4 + z = 0 Solving 4 + z = 0 Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-4' to each side of the equation. 4 + -4 + z = 0 + -4 Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0 0 + z = 0 + -4 z = 0 + -4 Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4 z = -4 Simplifying z = -4 Solution z = {0, 3, -4}
