Solution for 2(x-7)=x(x-7) equation:


Simplifying
2(x + -7) = x(x + -7)

Reorder the terms:
2(-7 + x) = x(x + -7)
(-7 * 2 + x * 2) = x(x + -7)
(-14 + 2x) = x(x + -7)

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 2x = x(-7 + x)
-14 + 2x = (-7 * x + x * x)
-14 + 2x = (-7x + x2)

Solving
-14 + 2x = -7x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 2x + 7x = 9x
-14 + 9x + -1x2 = -7x + x2 + 7x + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
-14 + 9x + -1x2 = -7x + 7x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0
-14 + 9x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
-14 + 9x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-14 + 9x + -1x2 = 0

Factor a trinomial.
(-7 + x)(2 + -1x) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-7 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -7 + x = 0 Solving -7 + x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '7' to each side of the equation. -7 + 7 + x = 0 + 7 Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0 0 + x = 0 + 7 x = 0 + 7 Combine like terms: 0 + 7 = 7 x = 7 Simplifying x = 7

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(2 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + -1x = 0 Solving 2 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + -1x = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -2 -1x = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 -1x = -2 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 2 Simplifying x = 2

Solution

x = {7, 2}
