Question
Solve the equation
Solve for x
Solve for a
x=0x=a1
Evaluate
ax2=x
Add or subtract both sides
ax2−x=0
Factor the expression
More Steps
Evaluate
ax2−x
Rewrite the expression
xax−x
Factor out x from the expression
x(ax−1)
x(ax−1)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x=0ax−1=0
Solution
More Steps
Evaluate
ax−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
ax=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
ax=1
Divide both sides
aax=a1
Divide the numbers
x=a1
x=0x=a1
