How to solve a quadratic equations

Question

2×2-8×

Answer 1

I assume the expression is:

 

2x² - 8x

 

which factors to:

 

2x(x-4)

 

You can't "solve it" because you don't have an equation (equations have equal signs).  For example, here's a common equation for this problem:

 

2x² - 8x = 0

2x(x-4) = 0

 

Apply the "Zero Factor Property" to get x = 0 and x = 4 as the answers.
