x1=0,x2=172
Alternative Form
x1=0,x2≈0.117647
Evaluate
x(2−x×17)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
x(2−x×17)=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
x(2−17x)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=02−17x=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2−17x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−17x=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−17x=−2
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
17x=2
Divide both sides
1717x=172
Divide the numbers
x=172
x=0x=172
Solution
x1=0,x2=172
