Factor out −11 from the expression
n(n−1)−11(n−1)
Factor out n−1 from the expression
(n−11)(n−1)
(n−11)(n−1)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
n−11=0n−1=0
Solve the equation for n
More Steps

Evaluate
n−11=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
n=0+11
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
n=11
n=11n−1=0
