To solve the equation \( 2x^2 = 6x \) by factoring, follow these steps:
-
First, set the equation to zero by subtracting \( 6x \) from both sides:
\[ 2x^2 - 6x = 0 \]
-
Next, factor out the common term, which is \( 2x \):
\[ 2x(x - 3) = 0 \]
-
Now, set each factor equal to zero to find the solutions:
- \( 2x = 0 \)
- \( x - 3 = 0 \)
-
Solving these equations gives:
- From \( 2x = 0 \): \[ x = 0 \]
- From \( x - 3 = 0 \): \[ x = 3 \]
Thus, the solutions to the equation \( 2x^2 = 6x \) are:
\[ x = 0, 3 \]
In the format requested: 0, 3.
