Find the roots
x1=0,x2=12,x3=18
Evaluate
(36−2x)(24−2x)x
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(36−2x)(24−2x)x=0
Separate the equation into 3 possible cases
36−2x=024−2x=0x=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
36−2x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−2x=0−36
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−2x=−36
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
2x=36
Divide both sides
22x=236
