Factor out the x then solve for both equations.

anonymous · Answer

i tried that but am still confuse

anonymous · Answer

When you tried that what did you get?

anonymous · Answer

diffrent answers

anonymous · Answer

Can you factor the problem or not?

anonymous · Answer

i got 5x (5x-2)

anonymous · Answer

so A is the answer?

anonymous · Answer

Close...the factoring is correct..so you now have two equations 5x= 0 and 5x-2 = 0...now solve for x for both equations.

anonymous · Answer

thats the part am stuck in

anonymous · Answer

you could also just plug in each option and see if you get zero
i do recommend a calculator
