Provide an appropriate response.A student is solving the equation x2 = 11x This student has decided to divide both sides of the equation by x and finds the solution x = 11. The student checks the answer in the back of the book and finds that x = 0 is also a solution. The student feels that this is a misprint. How would you advise him or her?

What will be an ideal response?
