or Watch a video Solve for q. q2–17q=0 Write each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas. q= Submit

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( q^2 - 17q = 0 \), you can factor the left-hand side:

1. Factor out \( q \):
\[
q(q - 17) = 0
\]

2. Set each factor equal to zero:
\[
q = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad q - 17 = 0
\]

3. Solve for \( q \) in the second equation:
\[
q = 17
\]

The solutions to the equation are:
\[
q = 0, 17
\]

So, the final solutions are \( q = 0, 17 \).
