Rewrite the expression
2x×x−2x×14
Factor out 2x from the expression
2x(x−14)
2x(x−14)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
2x=0x−14=0
Solve the equation for x
x=0x−14=0

Evaluate
x−14=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+14
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=14
x=0x=14
Solution
x1=0,x2=14
