Provide an appropriate response.A student is solving the equation x2 = 6x This student has decided to divide both sides of the equation by x and finds the solution x = 6. 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?
Order of operations x2 - 6x = x(x - 6) ? x = 0, x = 6 are solutions.
