x=0or9

Explanation:

While most people would straightaway cancel the x2 on both sides .I would find that rather foolish.

This is an important concept to have not to cancel x terms on either side of the equation but to bring everything over to one side

9x2=x3

9x2x3=0

x2(9x)=0

x2=0or9x=0

x=±0orx=9

So we get our 3 solutions out of which 2 are not distinct roots
