It depends on what you want. If you want a number you need to know what x is.
If that thing equals zero you could solve for x
If you just want to reduce it... you could solve it as a quadratic equation.

We can take out a common factor:
X^2 - 6x = x (x-6)
Therefore : x= 0
or
(x-6)=0 so x= 6
Answers are (0,6)
Alternatively, Just subsitute with the value of X in the equation.

x^2 - 6x cannot be solved (as it is not an equation), but can be simplified.
x^2 - 6x = x(x-6)

x^2 - 6x
Factor an "x" out to get x(x-6)
Set each of the terms to zero so that x = 0
and x-6=0
Add 6 to both sides so that x = 6
The answers are 0 and 6
That's it! Have fun!

x^2-6x=?
=(0,6)
Check and guess method
(x-0)(x-6) Foil
F=x^2
O=6x
I=0x
L=0
O and I are like term so they can be combine and that =
6x
L is 0 so there is no need to put it in the equation
So the answer is
x^2-6
So (0,6) match

0 or 6
factor and make each = 0 and isolate x
