Question
For the following exercises, solve the equation by factoring. You will need to set the equation equal to 0 first, then find the greatest common factor, and finally see if further factoring is possible.$6 x^2=54$
Step 1
To do this, we will subtract 54 from both sides of the equation: \[ 6x^2 - 54 = 0 \] Step 2: Find the greatest common factor (GCF). The GCF of the terms \(6x^2\) and \(-54\) is 6. We can factor out 6 from the equation: \[ 6(x^2 - 9) = 0 \] Step 3: Show more…
