There is no common factor, so how would I set this problem up?

54 - 6x^2 = 0

1) Add 6x^2 to both sides.

6x^2 = 54

2) Divide both sides by 6.

x^2 = 9

3) Take the square root of both sides.

x = 3

Actually you do have a common factor. Both 6 and 54 are divisible by 6. If you have to solve by factoring follow the steps below.

54 - 6x^2 = 0
Divide by 6

9 - x^2 = 0
Factor by the difference of perfect squares.

(3 - x)(3 + x) = 0
Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.

You will get two answers, because you have an x^2 term.

Hope this helps.

54-6x^2=0
minus 54 from both sides
-6x^2=-54
then divide by negative 6 on both sides
x^2=9
then square root both sides
x=3
then u get 3

generally for problems like these, you just simplify until you isolate the x and its power, then its easily solvable

54 - 6x^2 = 0
-6x^2 + 54
-6(x^2 - 9)
-6(x - 3)(x + 3)

54 - 6x^2 = 0

-6x^2 = -54

Divide both sides by -6.

x^2 = 9

x = 3

This problem can be solved in 3 easy steps:

1.) subtract 54 from both sides of the equation.

2.) divide both sides by -6

3.) take the square root of both sides

answer will be both positive and negative (+/-) because any number squared can be positive or negative and have the same positive answer.

Well u got some answers but they are all incomplete!!

When x^2 = 9

x is either +3 or -3

So, u have 2 possible solutions for x

it sort of feels to me you have constantly walked an excellent line between darkness and mild-weight, which isn't a poor element. darkish and mild-weight are, regardless of each and every thing, opposites and keep one yet another in suited stability, it is what the universe is, a stability. i would not be too worried of your "devil" thoughts, as he does, only only, characterize the darker element to life. That area human beings that embraces selfish thoughts, thoughts of not turning the different cheek, thoughts of vengeance and thoughts for desire of cloth and worldly issues. in case you reside with compassion, love and a desire for gaining wisdom of and coaching others, you could stay particularly nicely with the two aspects. you'll want issues, yet not injury others to get it. do not enable others to choose you, for below you could choose you. you're making judgements, those judgements will lead you to different paths and roads, you will could desire to make greater options, make blunders, learn alongside the way, and proceed moving. you will constantly be interested in the darkish to boot using fact the mild. settle for this in your self and make options intently. bear in concepts, that comparable stability that the universe could desire to have will constantly suitable itself. As for faith, Wicca is a incredibly new faith (while in comparison with Paganism) and it sort of feels lots of the greater present day generational each and every person is examining it and practising it. yet Wicca and a Witch at the instant are not interchangeable and that i think of many human beings get caught up in that. when I say i'm a witch, and that i do prepare gray magick, i'm getting the completed, Wiccas do no injury element and that i'm not a Wiccan. So, come across the occult and magick as you like, see what works right for you, yet do not call it except you completely understand each and every thing approximately it. I want you nicely.

-6(x^2-9)=0
x^2-9=0
(x+3)(x-3)=0
x+3=0 x=-3
x-3=0 x=3
so x= +/-3
