Factorize: #x=0# or #x=36#

Factorize

#x(x-36) = 0#

From the null factor law we can deduce that either #x=0# or #(x-36)=0# in which case #x=36#.

#x=0" or "x=36#

#"take out a "color(blue)"common factor "x#

#rArrx(x-36)=0#

#"equate each factor to zero and solve for x"#

#rArrx=0#

#x-36=0rArrx=36#
