Solve.

To solve the equation , we can factor it by taking common:

.

This gives us two possible solutions: or (which simplifies to ). So, the solutions are and .

Now you’ve got two values for ! How cool is that? 🎉

Don’t forget, when you have a quadratic equation set to zero, factoring is often your best friend—unless you’re feeling adventurous with the quadratic formula, of course! Just always check your work by plugging those solutions back into the original equation. It’s like a double-check hug for your math! 😊
