Question
Solve the equation
x1=0,x2=85
Alternative Form
x1=0,x2=0.625
Evaluate
5x2−8x3=0
Factor the expression
x2(5−8x)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=05−8x=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=05−8x=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
5−8x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−8x=0−5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−8x=−5
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
8x=5
Divide both sides
88x=85
Divide the numbers
x=85
x=0x=85
Solution
x1=0,x2=85
Alternative Form
x1=0,x2=0.625
