Question
Solve the equation
x1=−1,x2=0,x3=5
Evaluate
x3−4x2−5x=0
Factor the expression
x(x−5)(x+1)=0
Separate the equation into 3 possible cases
x=0x−5=0x+1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x−5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=5
x=0x=5x+1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

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=0x=5x=−1
Solution
x1=−1,x2=0,x3=5
