To solve the equation \( z^2 - 45z = 0 \), we can factor the left-hand side:
\[ z(z - 45) = 0 \]
This equation has two factors, so we can set each factor to zero:
- \( z = 0 \)
- \( z - 45 = 0 \) which gives \( z = 45 \)
Therefore, the solutions to the equation are:
\[ z = 0, 45 \]
In conclusion, the solutions are:
\[ z = 0, 45 \]
