Evaluate
a(x2×1)−x(a2×1)=0
Remove the parentheses
ax2×1−xa2×1=0
Simplify
More Steps
Evaluate
ax2×1−xa2×1
Multiply the terms
ax2−xa2×1
Multiply the terms
ax2−xa2
ax2−xa2=0
Rewrite the expression
ax2−a2x=0
Factor the expression
More Steps
Evaluate
ax2−a2x
Rewrite the expression
ax×x−axa
Factor out ax from the expression
ax(x−a)
ax(x−a)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
ax=0x−a=0
Solve the equation for x
x=0x−a=0
Solution
More Steps
Evaluate
x−a=0
Move the expression to the right-hand side and change its sign
