Question

given the function f(x) = x^2 and g(x)= x what is the solution for the equation x^2 - 2x = x

Answer 1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

  x = 0 or x = 3

Discussion:

Solve

x^2 -2x = x    =>

x^2 - 2x - x = 0   =>            (subtract x from both sides)

x^2 - 3x = 0      =>

x(x-3) = 0   =>                           (factor "x" from each term)

 x = 0 or x = 3
