Rewrite the expression
−x×7x+x×8
Factor out −x from the expression
−x(7x−8)
−x(7x−8)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
−x=07x−8=0
Solve the equation for x
x=07x−8=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps

Evaluate
7x−8=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
7x=0+8
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
7x=8
Divide both sides
77x=78
Divide the numbers
x=78
x=0x=78
