Rewrite the expression
x−x×81x
Factor out x from the expression
x(1−81x)
x(1−81x)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x=01−81x=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps

Evaluate
1−81x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−81x=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−81x=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
81x=1
Divide both sides
8181x=811
Divide the numbers
x=811
x=0x=811
