Question

Solve for j.
j2–6j=0
Write each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas.
j=

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( j^2 - 6j = 0 \), we can factor it:

1. Factor out \( j \):
\[
j(j - 6) = 0
\]

2. Set each factor equal to zero:
\[
j = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad j - 6 = 0
\]

3. Solving \( j - 6 = 0 \):
\[
j = 6
\]

Thus, the solutions are:
\[
j = 0, 6
\]

So, the final answer is:
\[
j = 0, 6
\]
