Question
Solve the equation
Solve for a
Solve for b
Solve for c
a=0a=1
Evaluate
abc=abca
Multiply the terms
abc=a2bc
Rewrite the expression
bca=bca2
Add or subtract both sides
bca−bca2=0
Factor the expression
More Steps
Evaluate
bca−bca2
Rewrite the expression
bca−bca×a
Factor out bca from the expression
bca(1−a)
bca(1−a)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
bca=01−a=0
Solve the equation for a
a=01−a=0
Solution
More Steps
Evaluate
1−a=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−a=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−a=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
a=1
a=0a=1
