solve the equation for x. write the solution set
x2-100x=0
Did you not look at the way I showed you how to do this kind of question in

This one has exactly the same structure.
To solve the equation x^2 - 100x = 0, we can factor out the common factor x:
x(x - 100) = 0
Now, we have two separate factors that, when multiplied, equal zero. According to the zero product property, one or both of the factors must be equal to zero.
Setting each factor equal to zero, we have:
x = 0 or x - 100 = 0
Solving x - 100 = 0 for x, we add 100 to both sides:
x = 100
Therefore, the solution set for the equation x^2 - 100x = 0 is:
{x = 0, x = 100}
