Factor out −2 from the expression
x(x−1)−2(x−1)
Factor out x−1 from the expression
(x−2)(x−1)
(x−2)(x−1)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x−2=0x−1=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps
Evaluate
x−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=2
x=2x−1=0
Solve the equation for x

Evaluate
x−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=1
x=2x=1
