Question
Solve the equation
Solve for x
Solve for s
x=0x=43+9−8s2x=43−9−8s2
Evaluate
s2x=3x2−x3×2
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
s2x=3x2−2x3
Move the expression to the left side
s2x−(3x2−2x3)=0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
s2x−3x2+2x3=0
Factor the expression
x(s2−3x+2x2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=0s2−3x+2x2=0
Solution
