Solution for 5x=2x(x+6) equation:


Simplifying
5x = 2x(x + 6)

Reorder the terms:
5x = 2x(6 + x)
5x = (6 * 2x + x * 2x)
5x = (12x + 2x2)

Solving
5x = 12x + 2x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 5x + -12x = -7x
-7x + -2x2 = 12x + 2x2 + -12x + -2x2

Reorder the terms:
-7x + -2x2 = 12x + -12x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 12x + -12x = 0
-7x + -2x2 = 0 + 2x2 + -2x2
-7x + -2x2 = 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
-7x + -2x2 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-1x'.
-1x(7 + 2x) = 0

Ignore the factor -1.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'x' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying x = 0 Solving x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying x = 0

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(7 + 2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 7 + 2x = 0 Solving 7 + 2x = 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 + 2x = 0 + -7 Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0 0 + 2x = 0 + -7 2x = 0 + -7 Combine like terms: 0 + -7 = -7 2x = -7 Divide each side by '2'. x = -3.5 Simplifying x = -3.5

Solution

x = {0, -3.5}
