Solution
(x−3)x
Show Solution

Find the roots
x1=0,x2=9
Evaluate
x−3x×1
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
x−3x×1=0
Find the domain
x−3x×1=0,x≥0
Calculate
x−3x×1=0
Multiply the terms
x−3x=0
Move the variable to the right-hand side and change its sign
−3x=−x
Divide both sides of the equation by −1
3x=x
Rewrite the expression
x=3x
Evaluate
x=3x,3x≥0
Evaluate
x=3x,x≥0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps

Evaluate
x=3x
Raise both sides of the equation to the 2-th power to eliminate the isolated 2-th root
(x)2=(3x)2
Evaluate the power
x=9x2
Cross multiply
x×9=x2
Simplify the equation
9x=x2
Move the expression to the left side
9x−x2=0
Factor the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
9x−x2
Rewrite the expression
x×9−x×x
Factor out x from the expression
x(9−x)
x(9−x)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x=09−x=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps

Evaluate
9−x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0−9
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=−9
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x=9
x=0x=9
x=0x=9,x≥0
Find the intersection of the solution and the defined range
x=0x=9
Solution
x1=0,x2=9
