Answer:
Explanation:
From question statement, we observe that
We have to find the number that is five times the square of a non-zero number is equal to fifteen times the number.
let x is the number.
5x² = 15x
We have to solve above equation for x.
adding -15x to both sides of above equation, we get
5x²-15x = 15x-15x
5x²-15x = 0
As 5x² and 15x are multiple of 5x.hence,
taking 5x common from above equation,we get
5x(x-3) = 0
Using Zero-Product Property ,we get
5x = 0 or x-3 = 0
x = 0 or x= 3
As we have to find non-zero number.So,
x = 3 is the number that is fives times the square of a non-zero number is equal to fifteen times the number.
