Question

how to solve this by factoring
2x^2 - 3x = 0

Answer 1

Take an x out of each term . So we have x(SOMETHING - SOMETHING) = 0

Answer 2

so is it two separate equations like x(x - 1) = 0 x-2 = 0?

Answer 3

No it's still one equation.

Answer 4

oh so x( 2 - 3)? I'm still kind of confused

Answer 5

If it's x( 2 - 3) , then we have 2x-3x.

Answer 6

We want \[2x ^{2}\] instead.

Answer 7

$$
\Large {
2x^2 - 3x = 0
\\ \iff \\
x (2x-3) = 0
\\ \iff \\
x = 0 ~~or ~~ 2x-3 = 0
}
$$

Answer 8

Oh ok I get it now :) thanks
