x((9 + 2x)(-9 + 2x)) = 0
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 '(9 + 2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
9 + 2x = 0
Solving
9 + 2x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + 2x = 0 + -9
Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0
0 + 2x = 0 + -9
2x = 0 + -9
Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -9
2x = -9
Divide each side by '2'.
x = -4.5
Simplifying
x = -4.5
Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(-9 + 2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-9 + 2x = 0
Solving
-9 + 2x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '9' to each side of the equation.
-9 + 9 + 2x = 0 + 9
Combine like terms: -9 + 9 = 0
0 + 2x = 0 + 9
2x = 0 + 9
Combine like terms: 0 + 9 = 9
2x = 9
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 4.5
Simplifying
x = 4.5
Solution
x = {0, -4.5, 4.5}
