Provide an appropriate response.What is wrong with solving x2 = 6x by dividing both sides of the equation by x?

What will be an ideal response?


One of the solutions, x = 0, is lost when you divide the original equation by x. In addition, you must be careful about dividing by variables since division by zero is not defined.
