[5x(-2)]=5x[a+(-3)]

Solution

[5 x (- 2)] = 5 x [a + (- 3)]

Solution

x = 0

Solution steps

[5 x (- 2)] = 5 x [a + (- 3)]

Expand

5 x (- 2) : - 10 x

Expand

5 x (a + (- 3)) : 5 a x - 15 x

- 10 x = 5 a x - 15 x

Subtract

5 a x - 15 x

from both sides

- 10 x - (5 a x - 15 x) = 5 a x - 15 x - (5 a x - 15 x)

Simplify

- 5 a x + 5 x = 0

Factor

- 5 a x + 5 x : 5 x (- a + 1)

5 x (- a + 1) = 0

Using the Zero Factor Principle:

If

ab = 0

then

a = 0

or

b = 0

x = 0

Popular Examples

5 + x = 7 - 8 x

a^{45}x-45=-15x+75

a^{45} x - 45 = - 15 x + 75

2 x + (- 7) = 51

x - \frac{3}{50} = 15.99
