Answer:The final solution is all the values that make

x ( x − 16 ) = 0

true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor x out of

x ^2 − 16 x .

Factor x out of x

2 . x ⋅ x − 16 x = 0

Factor x out of

− 16 x . x ⋅ x + x ⋅ − 16 = 0

Factor x out of x ⋅ x + x ⋅ − 16

. x ( x − 16 ) = 0

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to

0 , the entire expression will be equal to 0

x = 0 x − 16 = 0

Set the first factor equal to 0

. x = 0

Set the next factor equal to 0

and solve.

Set the next factor equal to 0

x − 16 = 0

Add 16 to both sides of the equation.

x = 16

The final solution is all the values that make

x ( x − 16 ) = 0

true.

x = 0
