solve equation 2x(x-5)=0?

Answer 1

GIVEN:
2x ( x - 5 ) = 0

FIND:
The value(s) for "x".

Start, by setting each factor = 0 and SOLVING for "x".
___________________________

SOLUTION:
2x ( x - 5 ) = 0

2x = 0
2x / 2 = 0 / 2
x = 0

x - 5 = 0
x - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5
x + 0 = 5
x = 5

CHECK using the values for "x" by SUBSTITUTING using (parenthesis) into the GIVEN equation.
____________________________________________

CHECK#1:
Let x = 0
2x ( x - 5 ) = 0
2(0) [ (0) - 5 ] = 0
2(0) [ 1(0) - 5 ] = 0
0 ( 1 - 5 ) = 0
0 ( - 4 ) = 0
0 = 0 ...The statement is TRUE. Therefore, x = 0 is a solution.

CHECK#2:
Let x = 5
2x ( x - 5 ) = 0
2(5) [ (5) - 5 ] = 0
2(5) [ 1(5) - 5 ] = 0
10 ( 5 - 5 ) = 0
10 ( 0 ) = 0
0 = 0 ...The statement is TRUE. Therefore, x = 5 is a solution, too.

FINAL ANSWER:
x = 0 and 5

Congrats. on making it to the end! ♥

Answer 2

x=0

Answer 3

2x(x - 5) = 0
2x = 0 OR x - 5 = 0
therfore x = 0 or 5

Answer 4

in this cace 2x= 0 or (x-5)= 0 ,so x=0 or x=5

Answer 5

Are you trying to find the numbers for x for which it equals zero? If so then x = 0 or x = 5.

Answer 6

2x(x - 5) = 0
So 2x = 0 or x - 5 = 0
ie x = 0 or 5

Answer 7

One answer is X=5; here is how

2x(x-5)=0

Divid each side by 2x

x-5 = 0 /* Dividing 0 by anthing is 0 */

x=5

Answer 8

2x(x-5)=0
2x^2-10x=0
lets simplfy it by dividing both sides with 2

x^2-5x=10

and there are two value for x
x=5 x=0

Answer 9

0
EITHER 2X OR X-5 HAS TO BE 0 FOR 2X(X-5)=0
SOLVE FOR EACH
2X=0 AND
X-5 =0
YOU GET X=(0,5)

Answer 10

either 2x=0 or x=0
x-5=0 or x=5
so solution set{0,5}
